Clement Rouault added the comment: My comment was about the behavior of `winreg.QueryValueEx`. The current behavior is:
>>> import winreg >>> tstkey = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "TestKey") >>> winreg.QueryValueEx(tstkey, "MYDWORD") # a REG_DWORD value (16909060, 4) >>> winreg.QueryValueEx(tstkey, "MYQWORD") # a REG_QWORD value (b'\x08\x07\x06\x05\x04\x03\x02\x01', 11) With this patch the new behavior would be: >>> winreg.QueryValueEx(tstkey, "MYQWORD") # a REG_QWORD value (72623859790382856, 11) I agree that exposing REG_QWORD is a new feature. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
