What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using the twitter api, in a windows machine, through IIS (Internet
Information Service) to send a message
2. If we've not defined as environment variables neither "USER"
nor "LOGNAME" nor "USERNAME"
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The library fails when it attempts to create a temporary directory, raising
an AttributeError, because of the call to os.getlogin (at line 3862, in
version 0.8.2). it seems that os.getlogin works on unix/linux but
not even exists in windows.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.2 on Windows NT (5.0) and python 2.7
Please provide any additional information below.
It's easy to fix the problem changing the method _GetUsername to:
def _GetUsername(self):
'''Attempt to find the username in a cross-platform fashion.'''
try:
return os.getenv('USER') or \
os.getenv('LOGNAME') or \
os.getenv('USERNAME') or \
os.getlogin() or \
'nobody'
except (IOError, OSError, AttributeError), e:
return 'nobody'
In others words, adding the AttributeError to the except clause.
