portability - Is there a portable way to get the current username in Python? -


is there portable way current user's username in python (i.e., 1 works under both linux , windows, @ least). work os.getuid:

>>> os.getuid() 42 >>> os.getusername() 'slartibartfast'

i googled around , surprised not find definitive answer (although perhaps googling poorly). pwd module provides relatively easy way achieve under, say, linux, not present on windows. of search results suggested getting username under windows can complicated in circumstances (e.g., running windows service), although haven't verified that.

look @ getpass module

import getpass getpass.getuser() 'kostya'

availability: unix, windows

p.s. per comment below "this function looks @ values of various environment variables determine user name. therefore, function should not relied on access control purposes (or possibly other purpose, since allows user impersonate other)."

c# - Check Keyboard Input Winforms -

i wondering if instead of doing this protected override void onkeydown(keyeventargs e) { if (e.keycode == keys.a) console.writeline("the key down."); } i set bool method , this: if(keydown(keys.a)) // whatever here i've been sitting here ages trying figure out how it. can't wrap head around it. in case wondering, plan call bool inside different method, check input. since want perform action after pressing key, using keydown event enough. but in cases suppose want check if specific key down in middle of process, can use getkeystate method way: [dllimport("user32.dll", charset = charset.auto, exactspelling = true)] public static extern short getkeystate(int keycode); public const int key_pressed = 0x8000; public static bool iskeydown(keys key) { return convert.toboolean(getkeystate((int)key) & key_pressed); } you should know, each time check key state using example iskeydown(keys.a) method returns true if ke...
