How to Fix "No module named _winreg" in Volatility

Hello Experts,

I am a newbie at Memory Forensics, I have only played around with memory dumps 1 or 2 times. I have been watching some of 13Cubed videos on YT, in the Detecting Persistence in Memory video https://youtu.be/shF8hAprD4g he talks about the newer AutoRuns plugin WINESAP.

From Kali, I downloaded a copy of Winesap and copied all the .py files to path /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/volatility/plugins. As suggested in 13Cubed video, i renamed the class "Autorun2". When I run volatility -h the newer autorun2 is listed as a plugin immediately after the original autorun plugin.

However, for all the other .py files that I copied over I get…

Volatility Foundation Volatility Framework 2.6

*** Failed to import volatility.plugins.run_keys (ImportError No module named _winreg)

The winutils.py file import winreg, then all the other files import winutils.

The volatility folder does NOT contain a winreg.py file, from my research it has to do with accessing Windows Registry but I can not find winreg.py anywhere online.
