We just need to add a case to test_case in Lib/test/test_winreg.py, such as the following: ("Multi-nul", ["", "", "", ""], REG_MULTI_SZ) > I just spent way too long looking for a MoveFileEx call that doesn't > exist, because this isn't actually about doing things on reboot :) Do you mean a variation of MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT that doesn't require administrator access? That would be useful if it existed. I suppose a MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_LOGOFF flag could be added to have the logon process (winlogon.exe, instead of smss.exe) perform the delete/rename operation under impersonation at the end of the session, or (given a system crash or power failure) the next time the user logs on. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32587> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
