# this module is an OS/2 oriented replacement for the pwd standard
# extension module.

# written by Andrew MacIntyre, April 2001.
# updated July 2003, adding field accessor support

# note that this implementation checks whether ":" or ";" as used as
# the field separator character.  Path conversions are are applied when
# the database uses ":" as the field separator character.

"""Replacement for pwd standard extension module, intended for use on
OS/2 and similar systems which don't normally have an /etc/passwd file.

The standard Unix password database is an ASCII text file with 7 fields
per record (line), separated by a colon:
  - user name (string)
  - password (encrypted string, or "*" or "")
  - user id (integer)
  - group id (integer)
  - description (usually user's name)
  - home directory (path to user's home directory)
  - shell (path to the user's login shell)

(see the section 8.1 of the Python Library Reference)

This implementation differs from the standard Unix implementation by
allowing use of the platform's native path separator character - ';' on OS/2,
DOS and MS-Windows - as the field separator in addition to the Unix
standard ":".  Additionally, when ":" is the separator path conversions
are applied to deal with any munging of the drive letter reference.

The module looks for the password database at the following locations
(in order first to last):
  - ${ETC_PASSWD}             (or %ETC_PASSWD%)
  - ${ETC}/passwd             (or %ETC%/passwd)
  - ${PYTHONHOME}/Etc/passwd  (or %PYTHONHOME%/Etc/passwd)

Classes
-------

None

Functions
---------

getpwuid(uid) -  return the record for user-id uid as a 7-tuple

getpwnam(name) - return the record for user 'name' as a 7-tuple

getpwall() -     return a list of 7-tuples, each tuple being one record
                 (NOTE: the order is arbitrary)

Attributes
----------

passwd_file -    the path of the password database file
