Debugger fails to start under Python 3.13 when user has no name #2957

Description

@Derkades

python/cpython#29739

getpass.getuser() now raises OSError if the current user does not have a username:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.13/getpass.py", line 173, in getuser
    return pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0]
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'getpwuid(): uid not found: 1000'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: No username set in the environment

Under Python 3.12, the exact same code runs without an error and is able to start the development environment.

Environment:

  • Python version: 3.13
  • Werkzeug version: 3.0.4
