What happened to the CurrentVersion registry entry documented at

http://www.python.org/windows/python/registry.html AFAICT, even the python15.wse file did not fill a value in this entry (perhaps I'm misinterpreting the wse file, though). So was this ever used? Why is it documented, and who documented it (unfortunately, registry.html is not in cvs/subversion, either)?

I believe I documented it many moons ago. I don't think CurrentVersion was ever implemented (or possibly was for a very short time before being removed). The "registered modules" concept was misguided and AFAIK is not used by anyone - IMO it should be deprecated (if not just removed!). Further, I believe the documentation in the file for PYTHONPATH is, as said in those docs, out of date, but that the comments in getpathp.c are correct.

Cheers,

Mark
