python32bit改64bit,从32位Python更改64位注册表

I am having difficulty do understand this. If I'm correct, A 32bit Python can't run a code and change registry values in 64bit. Do I get it right? Or is there a switch to turn on in which enables this functionality?

Thanks,

Oz

As the MSDN article you linked to explains, 64bit Windows has two registry views, one for 32bit and one for 64bit. By default a 32bit application (e.g. your Python script being executed by a 32bit Python interpreter) will access the 32bit view. You can force it to access the 64bit view using the flags mentioned in the MSDN article. To be able to use these flags you need to call _winreg.OpenKey, _winreg.CreateKeyEx or _winreg.DeleteKeyEx with the correct parameters, e.g.

handle = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "your_sub_key", 0, _winreg.KEY_READ | _winreg.KEY_WOW64_64KEY)

See the _winreg documentation for more information.
