Process.groupname doesn't work on Windows 7 #70

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

>>> import psutil, os
>>> psutil.Process(os.getpid()).groupname
''

Note that for returning the empty string it takes about 10 seconds.
The slowness is caused by NetUserGetLocalGroups(), presumably because of
something related with name resolutions.
If LG_INCLUDE_INDIRECT is replaced with a "0" it returns immediately but
that doesn't solve the problem anyway.

I solved the hanging problem in r475. NetUserGetLocalGroups now returns 
immediately
altough an empty string is still returned.

More progresses: there was no error handling for NetUserGetLocalGroups.
I checked its returning value and used PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr() (r476) and now 
a
WindowsError exception is raised instead of having an empty string in return.

By doing some more dubbing I discovered that the real culprit is 
get_proc_username()
function which returns a wrong username (in my case "Administrators", while the 
user
owning the process is "giampaolo") so that is why get_proc_groupname() is 
currently
failing.

We decided to remove groupname functionnality.
