pwd module on Windows

[john.m.baker]

Hi,

What’s the best way to cope with these errors:

ImportError: pwd module not supported on Windows

If it’s not supported, what should I do to do something like this:

  currentuser= pwd.getpwuid(os.geteuid())[0]

I appreciate this isn’t really Jython specific, but I suspect someone has some thoughts on writing cross OS Python!

Thanks,

John

Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy.

And now I’m looking about for a solution, where by I need to check the operating system (I have other requirements to avoid running code that is platform specific – it makes calls to rsync etc.!), platform.system() returns ‘Java’, so it’s difficult to tell what is the underlying operating system.

 

Any thoughts?

hi john,


--- code-snippet ---
from java.lang import System

for pname in System.getProperties():
  print('%s=%s' % (pname, System.getProperty(pname)))

--- /code-snippet ---

look at properties such as:
os.name
os.arch

and some others.

regards,
daniel
