The pythonic way equal to "whoami"

Hello,
I was trying to find out whose the program launcher, but os.environ['USER'] 
returns the user whom owns the desktop environment, regardless the program 
is called by root.
I'd like to know it, so the program will run with the right privileges.

Is there any standard function on python, that will do it?
