Python winreg looping through sub-keys

from _winreg import *

         


        

Answer 1

Does something like this work?

import _winreg

def subkeys(key):
    i = 0
    while True:
        try:
            subkey = _winreg.EnumKey(key, i)
            yield subkey
            i+=1
        except WindowsError:
            break

def traverse_registry_tree(key=_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, tabs=0):
    for k in subkeys(key):
        print '\t'*tabs + str(k)
        traverse_registry_tree(k, tabs+1)
