[Jython-dev] _winreg in Jython?

[Ben K. <ben...@ya...>]

Hello,

I am in the process of making a jdbc/Swing app in Java.  I would like to pull the username from the registry to autofill a field.  In Python it is easy:

import _winreg
x=_winreg.ConnectRegistry(None,_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);
y= _winreg.OpenKey(x,"Network\Logon");
username = _winreg.QueryValueEx(y,"username")[0]
print username

Unfortunately this function is not available in Java (or Jython).  Are there any plans to incorporate this into Jython.  If there were a way that I could duplicate this feature in the "Core Python" language, I could simply compile it as a java app and that would be it.  Thanks in advance for any information.

Best regards,

Ben
