Summary: os.getlogin() goes **poof**
Initial Comment:
"python -c "import os; getlogin()" rears its ugly head
again. It complains it can't open "<string>" (Python
2.4.1, FC4).
Strace confirms it:
open("<string>", ...) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or ...
open("<string>", ...) = -1 ENOENT ...
open("/usr/lib/python24.zip/<string>", ...) = -1 ...
open("/usr/lib/python2.4/<string>", ...) = -1 ...
open("/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2/<string>", ...
open("/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/<string>", ...
open("/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/<string>", ...
open("/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/<string>", ...
[<two more long obscure directories>/<string> snipped.]
I don't know what's in that "<string>" file, but it
surely must be important.

Your diagnosis is incorrect. The system's getlogin() sets
errno 2, that is "No such file or directory". Thus
os.getlogin() raises an OSError with this description.
Python's "file name" for -c scripts is "<string>", and
because Python wants to give you a traceback with lines and
code context, it looks for the file "<string>". This has
nothing to do with getlogin.

Er... Of course, I intended:
python -c "import os; os.getlogin()"
diagnostic output was from:
strace -e trace=open python -c "import os; os.getlogin()"
