How can I get the user's username?

Question

I know that I can do getpass.getuser() but that shows the user's name, not their account logon username and I want their account logon username

Try this one:

For Unix

import os
import pwd

pwd.getpwduid(os.getuid())[0]

For Windows

import os

os.getlogin()
