os.getlogin() returns the user logged in on the controlling terminal. However
'crontab' only looks for the login name of the process' real user id which
pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0] does provide.
While in most cases there is no difference, the former might fail under certain
circumstances (e.g. a lxc container connected by attachment without login),
throwing the error 'OSError: [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device'.
* 'before' and 'after' are now only applied to 'lines'
* remove update argument
* update doc strings
* add path argument when performing config difference
* removes update argument
* adds `config` option to replace argument
* moves session management into shared module
* cleans up doc strings
* `before` and `after` args now only apply to lines
If you apply `wait=yes` and use `instance_tags` as your filter for
stopping/starting EC2 instances, this stack trace happens:
```

```
That's because the `instance_ids` variable is None if not supplied
in the task. That means the instances that result from the instance_tags
query aren't going to be included in the wait loop. To fix this, a list
needs to be kept of instances with matching tags and that list needs to
be added to `instance_ids` before the wait loop.
* Ensure unicode characters in zip-compressed filenames work correctly
Another corner-case we are fixing hoping it doesn't break anything else.
This fixes:
- The correct encoding of unicode paths internally (so the filenames we scrape from the output and is returned by zipfile match)
- Disable LANG=C for the unzip command (because it breaks the unicode output, unlike on gtar)
* Fix for python3 and other suggestions from @abadger
