Hi,
I want to get a list of users on a Linux system using Python 3.6. All
the users I am interested in are just available via LDAP and are not in
/etc/passwd. Thus, in a bash shell I can use 'getent' to display them.
When I try to install the PyPi package
getent
I get the error
File "/tmp/pip-build-vu4lziex/getent/setup.py", line 9, in <module>
long_description = file('README.rst').read(),
NameError: name 'file' is not defined
I duckduckwent a bit and the problem seems to be that 'file' from Python
2 has been replaced by 'open' in Python 3.
So what's the standard way of getting a list of users in this case?
Cheers,
Loris
