New submission from Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de>:
WebAssembly platforms like wasm32-emscripten and wasm32-wasi don't have a typical user and group database. WASI platform does not provide necessary API functions at all. Emscripten provides dummy stubs. On Emscripten the pwd module compiles, but is non-functional: Python 3.11.0a4+ (heads/main-dirty:b1a3446, Jan 25 2022, 10:19:07) [Clang 14.0.0 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project f142c45f1e494f8dbdcc1bcf1412 on emscripten Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pwd, os >>> os.getuid() 0 >>> pwd.getpwall() [] >>> pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid()) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> KeyError: 'getpwuid(): uid not found: 0' I propose to make the pwd optional and catch import error in few places where the pwd module is used to look up user home directory. ---------- assignee: christian.heimes components: Library (Lib) messages: 414595 nosy: christian.heimes priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Make pwd module optional for wasm32-emscripten and wasi type: behavior versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46933> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
