IIRC, Python itself doesn't read those registry entries, except when installing

If you need to use many different Pythons of the same version, this script 
helps manage the registry:

  Thank you for the information!

As I mentioned in another reply, so far I think we can use this script to temporarily change the 'current installation' if needed for some external installer package to correctly recognize where to install its content.

<bike-shedding>If we do use it, I'll most likely modify it to first make a backup copy of the original registry key and use that later on to restore the original registry state instead of reconstructing its content to what the script assumes it should be.</bike-shedding>
