Clement Rouault added the comment: I would like to discuss the fact that this patch is a new feature.
In the current state, CPython handles the `REG_QWORD` type as an unkown type and returns the raw registry value: a string of size 8. In my opinion this behavior does not match the Windows documentation (REG_QWORD: A 64-bit number) or CPython's own behavior regarding REG_DWORD that returns a Python `int` (more important). Is this enough to consider this a bugfix ? and therefore port it to 2.7 ? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23026> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
