Python (Scripting) - Return username using getpass getuser (whoami)

---

---

getpass.getuser() can be used to get the username of the user running a Python script.

#!/usr/bin/python3
import getpass
print(f"whoami = {getpass.getuser()}")

 

Which should return something like this.

whoami = john.doe
