	Yes, IF YOU RUN IT UNDER "root"... The ownership of the script file
doesn't control the privileges it runs under as long as the file itself is
read-access to other "users".

	That is the /normal/ way a web-server (or any server) should be
configured -- explicitly to prevent operations from leaking into the rest
of the system.

	There are a whole bunch of methods in the os module (which I can't
demonstrate as 95% of them are UNIX type OS only, and I'm running under
Win7). All sorts of things for retrieving group and user IDs. Only thing I
can access on Win7 is the least reliable items... (username is an
environment variable, and as such could have been changed from the real
user by something in the startup)

>>> import os
>>> os.environ["username"]
'Wulfraed'
>>> os.getcwd()
'C:\\Users\\Wulfraed'
>>>
