Member Function Documentation

def pyregfi._GenericList.__getitem__	(		self,
			name
	)

Retrieves a list element by name.

Parameters:

name	The name of the subkey or value desired. This is case-insensitive.

Note:

The registry format does not inherently prevent multiple subkeys or values from having the same name, having a key and a value with the same name, or having the same name in different cases that could both match. This interface simply returns the first match in the list. Lookups using this method could also fail due to incorrectly encoded strings stored as names. To identify any duplicates or elements with malformed names, use the iterator interface to check every list element.

Returns:

the first element whose name matches, or None if the element could not be found
