Getting User Name through Python

JeremyLuymes

Hi,

I'm writing a python script that will automatically add records to an SDE data base from an excel table.

I was wondering if there is a way to autopopulate the creation user field based on who is running the script. Basically, is there a way to determine what the username of the person logged into the computer is through python.

Thanks,

Jeremy

hi Jeremy,

getpass should do the trick:

import getpass print getpass.getuser()

Something that you might want to look for if you are moving to 10.1 is the new editor tracking capabilities. This will allow the geodatabase to automatically enter certain attributes such as user names when records are updated.

You can also try this:

import os
print os.environ.get( "USERNAME" )
