[issue4261] The pwd module doesn't distinguish between errors and no user

R. David Murray added the comment:

I don't think that changes the picture.  If the error code is non-zero, that means that one of the access methods failed, which means getpwnam can't report reliably whether or not that user exists according to the system configuration.
