[sleuthkit-users] Python/Jython and Windows registry analysis

[James H Jr J. <jj...@gm...>]

We'd like to implement some existing Python Windows registry analysis scripts as Autopsy modules. As far as we can tell, the _winreg module is not implemented in Jython, so asking for recommendations on the best Python way to access the Windows registry from within Autopsy. Might accessing raw RegRipper output work, is there an alternative Jython module, or is there a better way? The script developers are a group of my students learning Python, so implementing the modules in Java isn't an option.

Thanks for any suggestions or pointers.
