- install Python 2.5.2 using the Windows installer - now uninstall Python Result: The uninstaller doesn't remove the registry folder HKLM\SOFTWARE\Python and all its subfolders. |

Confirmed 2.6.5 installer leaves "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\Modules" on install/uninstall without \2.6\ key. I propose to mark it as 'low' priority. |

I imagine this affects 3.1 and 3.2 as well, but I haven't added them to versions since that hasn't been confirmed. |

Isn't there an issue around having multiple versions of Python installed? The top level folder should only be removed if the version of Python being uninstalled is the last installed Python. This means executing code on uninstall and doesn't seem worth the effort. If I'm correct in this then I would suggest closing as wontfix. |

The top level should be removed only when it is empty after Python that is being uninstalled removed its own branch. |

There should be a "function" to remove key if empty. BTW, what software is used to create (un)installer and where is Python code for it? |

See PC/_msi.c, Lib/msilib, and Tools/msi |

I think Installer has features to remove registry keys with no subkeys; we probably would need to declare that we create these keys, and then Installer might remove them automatically. |
