number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers): http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The tests that are expected to break are: test_codecencodings_cn test_codecencodings_hk test_codecencodings_jp test_codecencodings_kr test_codecencodings_tw test_codecs test_multibytecodec This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch, though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

The \module{getpass} module provides two functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getpass}{\optional{prompt\optional{, stream}}}
|
|
Prompt the user for a password without echoing. The user is
|
|
prompted using the string \var{prompt}, which defaults to
|
|
\code{'Password: '}. On \UNIX, the prompt is written to the
|
|
file-like object \var{stream}, which defaults to
|
|
\code{sys.stdout} (this argument is ignored on Windows).
|
|
|
|
Availability: Macintosh, \UNIX, Windows.
|
|
\versionadded[The \var{stream} parameter]{2.5}
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getuser}{}
|
|
Return the ``login name'' of the user.
|
|
Availability: \UNIX, Windows.
|
|
|
|
This function checks the environment variables \envvar{LOGNAME},
|
|
\envvar{USER}, \envvar{LNAME} and \envvar{USERNAME}, in order, and
|
|
returns the value of the first one which is set to a non-empty
|
|
string. If none are set, the login name from the password database
|
|
is returned on systems which support the \refmodule{pwd} module,
|
|
otherwise, an exception is raised.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
