Subject: 24.3; Python os.getlogin does not work
Date: Tue, 07 May 2013 23:19:10 -0400

Run python using:

M-x run-python (I used python 3.3.1). Once Python starts, run the
following:

import os
os.getlogin() and see the error

import os
>>> os.getlogin()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

The above can be reproduced by running python in an emacs Shell too.

This does not happen when I run Python from normal shell (without
emacs):

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.getlogin()

Works for me. Found various old Python bugs related to this:

Thanks. Please close it. I will use pwd which is the recommended module:

>>> pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0]
pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0]
'rajanikanth'

Thanks,
Raj
