Currently I can get the currently-logged-in-userid via getpass.getuser()

Is there a cross-platform way to get the full username (such as from the
GECOS field of /etc/passed or via something like NetUserGetInfo on Win32
so I'd get "Tim Chase" instead?
How about:
pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid()).pw_gecos
This will give you the GECOS field of /etc/passed.
I'd assume it contains "Tim Chase" for your account.
Hope this helps,
