Ok, I'm not sure when I got the idea they should return ids instead of the names :) But raising NotImplementedError is certainly an improvement on ImportError. As to implementing it on Windows, the answer by eryksun on this page works without requiring anything other than ctypes: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8086412/howto-determine-file-owner-on-windows-using-python-without-pywin32 That's about as simple as it gets it seems, the process for the group is almost identical, but groups aren't used very much on Windows anyway.
