Hello all,

I seem to be having a problem finding the right tool in python. Given a username I want to find the uid for it. I can do the reverse very easily with:

pwd.getpwuid(2012)

This returns a tuple of data from the passwd file. But I want to do something like:

command(username)

And get something that returns the uid (the number).

Thanks
