I don't think any of our Unix buildbots runs in our Windows service :) The diversity of errors we get is a bit disturbing: in the Linux man pages, ENOENT is mentioned as a glibc extension (“There was no corresponding entry in the utmp-file”) but EINVAL is not mentioned at all; also, returning NULL without setting errno is not a possibility in the POSIX spec. Regards Antoine.

Now, it makes sense why there was no os.getlogin() test in the past. I'll disable the test for the time being. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20100924/5d6c251b/attachment.html>
