+# unixreg
+
+## why
+While working on porting a python application to Linux I came across many uses of winreg that could not easily be ported over.
+
+Instead of reworking the system I decided to implement a bandaid solution that deals with it transparently.
+
+## how to use
+Update your winreg imports with this
+
+```py
+try:
+ import winreg
+except ImportError:
+ import unixreg as winreg
+```
+
+simply importing unixreg should be enough though, winreg is imported if found
