Please make the winreg module work on cygwin. Nowadays cygwin has a /proc/registry file system, which might provide an easy way to do it.

Reclassifying as a feature request.

Is cygwin officially supported by Python core development?

It is not officially supported (no patches from core developers, no buildbot), but it is not officially rejected (working patches might be reviewed, and even applied). I think a request like this, with no code, should have gone to cygwin people first, and without a patch, should be closed as out of date -- how knows what the situation with cygwin and winreg is now -- or 3rd party. Simon's post suggests that there once was a 3rd party solution that might have solved Zooko's problem.
