@eryksun described "Apparently the developers do not want to guarantee that the version information on any particular system DLL can be used to get the system version. Apparently they also do not want to officially sanction using the "CurrentMajorVersionNumber", "CurrentMinorVersionNumber", and "CurrentBuildNumber" values in the registry." If that's the case why not get the version from CurrentBuild registry key present in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. This key at least goes back to Windows 7 and this is the key that's currently being used by winver command. And I don't think anyone at all uses windows version older than Windows 7. And chances are that the key maybe present even before Windows 7. At least the CurrentBuild is accurate. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43284> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
