Proposal:

Currently,NTEventLogHandler relies on external librarypywin32 to provide its functionality. But it's a little bit weird for a standard library to depend on a 3rd-party library.

The pywin32 is only used to write some registry keys, and callRegisterEventSourceW,DeregisterEventSource, andReportEventW to do the job.

We can usewinreg to write the registry keys, and wrap these functions in the_winapi module, then use them to replacepywin32.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
