I'm looking for a cross platform solution for getting current login/username in Python. I was surprised that <code>os.getlogin()</code> is only supported under Unix and even there is not necessarily returning what you would expect.

<code>getpass.getuser()</code> is your friend.

Cross platform solution for getting current login name in Python [duplicate]

getpass.getuser() is your friend.
