Actually, the standard Python on Windows does know about the
registry. And Mark Hammond's Win32 extension stuff has a registry
module.

But what if the user is (for some other purposes) relying on having a
different version of tcl/tk around? Not all that uncommon, and very
messy. Python is not real flexible about the version of tcl / tk it
uses.
