While compiling the above source code in windows i get this error

module' object has no attribute 'geteuid' windows

can any one resolve this.

module' object has no attribute 'geteuid' windows

There is no "geteuid" in the code you posted. You will have to post the entire error message so we can tell which line it is coming from.
