I have a python 3 application which currently supports windows and linux. I want to build some windows specific functionality which requires me to import winreg.
However the import winreg statement prevents the code from being executed under linux.
How can i use winreg without breaking the code under linux?
Manuel, in case you haven't reached the solution yet, although I presume you did, but maybe someone else may found it useful.
Fence the code with:
if 'posix' in sys.builtin_module_names:
# *nix
...
or:
if 'nt' in sys.builtin_module_names:
# Win
...
At least I did so on several occasions writing x-platform apps in python 2.
