Hi Bob, this not a Django specific question/problem but more a general Python question. The information you are looking for is most likely located in the os.environ object. So take a look at this in your python commandline/shell
>>> import os >>> [i for i in os.environ.items()] and look for the item that contains the username you are looking for.
