recurse_subkeys only whole hive? about regipy HOT 6 CLOSED

I also faced with this issue. @Ic1k-Git , path argument has not obvious name and you should not use it as subpath from start. This argument is used to save whole path from root during recursive execution because each registry node doesn't have this information.

You could use next code to achieve your goal

for entry in reg.recurse_subkeys(nk_record=reg.root.get_key('ControlSet001\Services'), as_json=True):
    print(entry.path)

@tincho9 , what do you think about adding this information to comments or maybe to change argument name?
I have also found strange behavior with get_keys() method. From SOFTWARE registry file
reg.root.get_key('ODBC') returns valid result
reg.get_key('ODBC') returns None when reg.get_key('SOFTWARE\ODBC') still returns valid object.

I've also changed the variable named and added some documentation in the docstring.
If this works for you, i'll make a pypi release later on today.

@Ic1k-Git @wizir6
Can I close this issue?

I'll take a look during the next weekend. It happens with every hive?

I've tried for SOFTWARE, SECURITY and NTUSER and it happend every time.

Sorry about the confusion.
reg is a RegistryHive object, while reg.root is an NKRecord. The get_key function is different in each one of them.
The function in RegistryHive will resolve the path and return the key, while the get_key function in NKRecord will try to find a subkey by this name directly under the subkey. I've renamed the function in NKRecord to get_subkey.
Hope this will solve the confusion.

reg.root.get_subkey('ODBC')
reg.get_key('ODBC')
reg.get_key('SOFTWARE\ODBC')

These three now return the same result.
