Using gitpython from within a mod_wsgi web app results in the following exception when trying to commit:

  File "...GitPython-0.3.2.RC1-py2.6.egg/git/index/base.py", line 887, in commit 
    return Commit.create_from_tree(self.repo, tree, message, parent_commits, head) 
  File "...GitPython-0.3.2.RC1-py2.6.egg/git/objects/commit.py", line 302, in create_from_tree 
    committer = Actor.committer(cr) 
  File "...GitPython-0.3.2.RC1-py2.6.egg/git/util.py", line 354, in committer 
    return cls._main_actor(cls.env_committer_name, cls.env_committer_email, config_reader) 
  File "...GitPython-0.3.2.RC1-py2.6.egg/git/util.py", line 327, in _main_actor 
    default_email = get_user_id() 
  File "...GitPython-0.3.2.RC1-py2.6.egg/git/util.py", line 120, in get_user_id 
    username = os.getlogin() 
OSError: [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device

A possible explanation might be that since apache/mod_wsgi are not started by a login shell, no call to setlogin() has been made (in order for getlogin() to succeed a previous call to setlogin() must have been made). Perhaps the problem is in mod_wsgi running in daemon mode. Either way, a more robust get_user_id() function would be nice.

A non-portable solution:

120: username = pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid()).pw_name

These could also be helpful:
