[Tutor] Windows user variable ?

[Smith, Jeff]

I would personally suggest using

getpass.getuser()

for maximum portability.

I recomment going to Windows Explorer -> Folder Options and unchecking
the "Hide extensions for known file types" option :-)

If you have the win32 extensions, try win32api.GetUserName().
