I plan to do the development in Python and I just can't seem to find enough documentation or sample code to really get started. If you could send me some sample code to perform common task or point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated.

Please send questions to the mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs You don't need to subscribe. --- It's not clear if your intended program will run in the Windows machine itself, or if you want to edit the registry outside a Windows guest using libguestfs. Anyway, there is one example of using hivex from Python here: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/11/28/use-hivex-from-python-to-read-and-writ... This example is a little bit obsolete (but will still work), because you can now use the hivex API directly via libguestfs which is more efficient. There are also some test programs here written in Python: https://github.com/libguestfs/hivex/tree/master/python/t Using hivex from Python is no different from using it from C, so just follow any C examples and mentally map them into Python, eg: hivex_root(h) ===> h.root Here is the C API documentation: http://libguestfs.org/hivex.3.html Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine. Supports Linux and Windows. http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-df/
