R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: These are wrappers around the posix functions. As such the unix man pages are a better authority than the Python docs :) Still, we could certainly improve the docs.
The getlogin error is probably a miscopy from the man page: the man page on my system shows the example as getpwuid(geteuid()), but it is actually showing a replacement for 'cuserid', not 'getlogin'. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray stage: -> needs patch type: -> behavior versions: -Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10503> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
