When calling winreg.SetValueEx(key, value_name, reserved, type, value), the value argument does not support the full range of a 32 bit unsigned integer, which the Window's registry API is expecting. For example, passing a value 0x80000000 will result in the following exception: OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long. For consistency with the Window's binding, it should support an unsigned long.

Brian - I think this is your area

Likewise, the winreg.QueryValueEx method returns a signed 32 bit value, instead of a 32 bit unsigned value.

Here is a patch for the first part (SetValueEx).

New changeset b9752b6c40f8 by Brian Curtin in branch '3.2': Fix #14420. Use PyLong_AsUnsignedLong to support the full range of DWORD. http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/b9752b6c40f8

This is fixed on 3.2 through 3.4. On 2.7 we get a ValueError trying to do the same thing so I'll create a separate issue for that since it involves fixing more than just the change in Py2Reg.

New changeset ccbb16719540 by Brian Curtin in branch '2.7': Fix #14420. Check for PyLong as well as PyInt when converting in Py2Reg. http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/ccbb16719540

Never mind . The fix was roughly the same and in the same area, so now we're covered on 2.7 as well.
