Here's an example that reads the value and type of "Temp" in HKCU\Environment:
 import winreg
 with winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 'Environment') as key:
 value, dtype = winreg.QueryValueEx(key, 'Temp')
 >>> print(value)
 %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
 >>> dtype == winreg.REG_EXPAND_SZ
 True
I can help more if you provide a specific example of the value that
you need to read.
