> Can anyone tell me how to find current working user in windows? The below should be fairly cross-platform:
>>> import getpass >>> whoami = getpass.getuser() >>> print whoami W: tchase L: tim ("W:" is the result on my windows box, "L:" is the result on my Linux box) which can be used in concert with >>> import user >>> print user.home W: C:\Documents and Settings\tchase L: /home/tim or >>> import os >>> os.expanduser('~/Desktop') W: C:\Documents and Settings\tchase/Desktop L: /home/tim/Desktop in case you need either of them. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
