New submission from Damon Atkins:
The Windows installer for example titles the software as
Display Name:Python 3.5.3 (64-bit)
Display Version: 3.5.3150.0
The default install folder is
C:\Program Files\Python35
There is no consistency
It looks like the 3150 been shorten to 3

Hi Guys,
The reason I raise the original is for all those configuration management tools
which need the version number.
In the uninstall registry is very much an inconsistent.
*Anything with a Display Name in the registry (name in the GUI) will be listed
Damon Atkins added the comment:
The python 3.5.3 (64-bit) installer currently adds most of the components
installed in the "MACHINE" Registry all but 1 item (2 entries)
"python 3.5.3 (64-bit)" software entry which it places in both the 32 bit and
also the 64 bit registry.
Damon Atkins added the comment:
Because this entry "python 3.5.3 (64-bit)" is the USER part of the registry,
only the user who installs python can see that it is installed.

Display Version should start with 3.X.Y o

I see from this. That this is still an issue

Is it not a solution to
save current directory location
chdir(cwd) before calling _winapi.CreateProcess()
restore the original directory.
