Not sure that would be a good idea: There are 22 such keys, as opposed to only two keys with Windows ID strings that don't end in nulls. I found this article:
http://www.swarley.me.uk/blog/2014/04/23/python-pip-and-windows-registry-corruption/ with the comment "If you are happy to completely remove any problematic keys, and accept any associated breakages that may occur, then this is the easiest solution." I am concerned that if I change these keys, something else might break and I have no easy way of figuring out what. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
