When does this happen?

IF Importing 'pwd' module at top level causes ModuleNotFoundError on Windows when using MultiQueryRetriever or PebbloSafeLoader.

How others solved it

THEN Move the import of the pwd module inside a try block to handle missing module on Windows. Remove the top-level import of pwd and wrap its usage in a try-except with a fallback to 'unknown' for file owner name.

try:
    import pwd
    file_owner_uid = os.stat(file_path).st_uid
    file_owner_name = pwd.getpwuid(file_owner_uid).pw_name
except Exception:
    file_owner_name = 'unknown'
return file_owner_name
