Hey there! Here's a quick example of how to query the Windows registry via the standard winreg library.

registry_queries.py

# standard libraries
import platform
import _winreg


def query(key, sub_key, path):
    result = None

    if platform.architecture()[0] == "32bit":
        architecture_ = _winreg.KEY_READ | _winreg.KEY_WOW64_32KEY

    if platform.architecture()[0] == "64bit":
        architecture_ = _winreg.KEY_READ | _winreg.KEY_WOW64_32KEY

    try:
        registry_key = _winreg.OpenKey(key, sub_key, 0, architecture_)
        value, regtype = _winreg.QueryValueEx(registry_key, path)
        _winreg.CloseKey(registry_key)
        result = value

    except (WindowsError, IOError):
        result = None

    finally:
        return result


def local_machine_query(sub_key, path):
    return query(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sub_key, path)


def current_user_query(sub_key, path):
    return query(_winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, sub_key, path)
