+python-registry was originally written by Willi Ballenthin, a forensicator who
+wanted to access the contents of the Windows Registry from his Linux laptop.
+python-registry currently provides read-only access to Windows Registry files,
+such as NTUSER.DAT, userdiff, and SOFTWARE. The interface is two-fold: a
+high-level interface suitable for most tasks, and a low level set of parsing
+objects and methods which may be used for advanced study of the Windows
+Registry. python-registry is written in pure Python, making it portable across
+all major platforms.
