Sure !

You need the win32all module.

You have the choice:
- You can download it separetely and install it over Python (see

http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/

or

http://www.python.org/windows/win32/)

- or use a Pyhton distribution which already includes the win32all modules (like ActivePython

http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePython/)

Then use the reg* methods in the win32api module.
(see enclosed documentation).

If you need an example, see this:
