New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' <g.rod...@gmail.com>:

http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.getuid
os.getuid() documentation just states:

> Return the current process’s user id.

It is not clear, however, whether "user id" refers to real, effective or saved 
user id.

As per:
http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl2_getuid.htm
...it should refer to _real_ user id.
