Yes there is one: yours!
From the Python doc:
getuser():
Return the ``login name'' of the user. Availability: Unix, Windows.
This function checks the environment variables LOGNAME, USER, LNAME and
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 pwd module, otherwise, an exception
is raised.
That's almost what you did in C++...
Cheers,
Aloys
