@qjwzmy Thanks for the report!

When I type the nvitop in console in pycharm, it repports the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pwd'.

I cannot reproduce this on my machine (Powershell / CMD / Git-Bash, and Python Console in PyCharm). Do you use a shell program other than above?

Could you try the following command in your terminal?

python -c 'import getpass; print(getpass.getuser())'

and

python -c 'import os; print(os.getlogin())'

In getpass (Python's built-in module):

def getuser():
    """Get the username from the environment or password database.

    First try various environment variables, then the password
    database.  This works on Windows as long as USERNAME is set.

    """

    for name in ('LOGNAME', 'USER', 'LNAME', 'USERNAME'):
        user = os.environ.get(name)
        if user:
            return user

    # If this fails, the exception will "explain" why
    import pwd
    return pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0]

When your terminal emulator doesn't set USER nor USERNAME, Python will try to import pwd (Unix-like system only) to get the current user name.

@qjwzmy Hi, I add a new commit to address this (56db1bf000).

Could you try to reinstall nvitop with:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop.git@dev#egg=nvitop
