Edit Question
Title
Body
The documentation for os.getuid() says: Return the current process’s user id. And of os.geteuid() says: Return the current process’s effective user id. So what is the difference between user id and effective user id ? For me both works same (on both 2.x and 3.x) . I am using it to check if script is being run as root.
