Question

I know that using
getpass.getuser() command, I can get the username, but how can I implement it in the following script automatically? So i want python to find the username and then implement it in the following script itself.

Script: os.path.join('..','Documents and Settings','USERNAME','Desktop'))

(Python Version 2.7 being used)

Answer 1

os.getlogin() return the user that is executing the, so it can be:

path = os.path.join('..','Documents and Settings',os.getlogin(),'Desktop')

or, using getpass.getuser()

path = os.path.join('..','Documents and Settings',getpass.getuser(),'Desktop')

If I understand what you asked.
