RegistryPol

The registrypol module allows you to easily parse and create Windows Registry Policy files in Python.

Installation

To install the registrypol module via pip, run the command:

$ pip install registrypol

Usage

Start by importing the registrypol module.

>>> import registrypol

The function registrypol.load, loads an registry policy file.

>>> with open('registry.pol', 'rb') as file:
...     registrypol.load(file)

In addition to loading an existing registry policy, policies created using the relevant Values can be dumped to a file using the registrypol.dump function.

>>> with open('registry.pol', 'wb') as file:
...     registrypol.dump(policy, file)

RegistryValue

To create a registry value as part of an registry policy, a registrypol.values.RegistryValue must be created.

>>> from registrypol.values import RegistryValue

>>> value = RegistryValue(
...     key='Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop',
...     value='ScreenSaverIsSecure',
...     type='REG_SZ',
...     size=4,
...     data=b'\x01\x00\x00\x00'
... )

RegistryPolicy

To create an registry policy one or more registry values must be created as described above.

These values can then be used to create an registrypol.policy.RegistryPolicy.

>>> from registrypol.policy import RegistryPolicy

>>> policy = RegistryPolicy(
...     values=[
...         value
...     ]
... )
