# 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 ## license this project is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE) feel free to do whatever you want with it
