[New-bugs-announce] [issue22307] os.getlogin() documentation has misleading side note

[Carlo]

New submission from Carlo:

The documentation for os.getlogin() says:

... ``pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0]`` to get the login name of the currently effective user id

Either, os.getuid() should be changed to os.geteuid(), or the wording should be changed.
