[Zope] Registering Zope's Python Instance in Win32

[Samir Mishra]

Never mind, found what I was looking for. On
http://effbot.org/zone/python-register.htm (thanks!). 

Thought I'd include the script in case this issue comes up for anyone else.

# script to register Python 2.0 or later for use with win32all
# and other extensions that require Python registry settings

import sys

from _winreg import *

# tweak as necessary
version = sys.version[:3]
installpath = sys.prefix

regpath = "SOFTWARE\\Python\\Pythoncore\\%s\\" % (version)
installkey = "InstallPath"
pythonkey = "PythonPath"
pythonpath = "%s;%sLib\\;%sDLLs\\" % (
    installpath, installpath, installpath
)

def RegisterPy():
    try:
        reg = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, regpath)
    except EnvironmentError:
        try:
            reg = CreateKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, regpath)
            SetValue(reg, installkey, REG_SZ, installpath)
            SetValue(reg, pythonkey, REG_SZ, pythonpath)
            CloseKey(reg)
        except:
            print "*** Unable to register!"
            return
        print "--- Python", version, "is now registered!"
        return
    if (QueryValue(reg, installkey) == installpath and
        QueryValue(reg, pythonkey) == pythonpath):
        CloseKey(reg)
        print "=== Python", version, "is already registered!"
        return
    CloseKey(reg)
    print "*** Unable to register!"
    print "*** You probably have another Python installation!"
    return

if __name__ == "__main__":
    RegisterPy()

Hi all,

I'd like to register the Python that comes with Zope as the primary python
instance. Last time I did this, i.e., used a python script to update the
windows registry, it was someone on this mailing list who was kind enough to
point me to the right place/method. I've lost the link, tried finding it on
Zope.org without success, and am now hoping someone on can help me out
again...

Thanks.

Samir
