Deleting a Windows Registry Value with Python

I would like to delete values from the registry in Windows using Python, but I don't understand what is the sub_key in the python documentation:

I have the following code, which I would like to use:

def del_env(name):
   key = OpenKey(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 'Environment', 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
   #SetValueEx(key, name, 0, REG_EXPAND_SZ, value)开发者_运维知识库
   DeleteKey(key, ???) # what goes where the ??? are
   CloseKey(key)
   SendMessage(
        win32con.HWND_BROADCAST, win32con.WM_SETTINGCHANGE, 0, 'Environment')

This function should be used as

del_env("SOMEKEY")

p.s I forgot to mention, if I use:

deleteKey(key,"")

All environment variables in the session are erased ...

Thanks in advance, Oz

My Glorious fail:

Use DeleteValue instead of DeleteKey as @Philipp mentioned in the comments:

def del_env(name):
   key = OpenKey(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 'Environment', 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
   DeleteValue(key, name) 
   CloseKey(key)
   SendMessage(
        win32con.HWND_BROADCAST, win32con.WM_SETTINGCHANGE, 0, 'Environment')


I think DeleteKey takes the parent to the key you want to delete, and the sub_key is the key you ant to delete. I'm not on a Windows machine, so I can't test it right now.


OK,

Not A Pythonic Solution, but it works:

   C:\Documents and Settings\admin>reg add "%REGISTRY_KEY%\Environment" /v AME /t
   REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%AME%" /f


   #REG DELETE KeyName [/v ValueName | /ve | /va] [/f]

  C:\Documents and Settings\admin>reg delete "%REGISTRY_KEY%\Environment" /v AME
   /f

  Der Vorgang wurde erfolgreich ausgeführt.

Success...
