Hirokazu Yamamoto <ocean-c...@m2.ccsnet.ne.jp> added the comment: This happens because RegQueryInfoKeyA returns maximum value name length in *Unicode* characters. Strange API.
lpcMaxValueNameLen [out, optional] A pointer to a variable that receives the size of the key's longest value name, in Unicode characters. The size does not include the terminating null character. This parameter can be NULL. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724902%28VS.85%29.aspx The Unicode length equals to Ansi length in ascii locale, so this may not happen where people live in ascii locale. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9937> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
