pip install secure-strings  # not secure-string, but secure-strings

Examples

from secure_string import SecureString, SecureStringContextManager, SecureStringStrictContextManager


password = SecureString('my password')
print(password)  # this will print '***' to stdout
print(password.value)  # this will print 'my password', use the `value` property to get real value

# we can disable string protection
with SecureStringContextManager(False):
    print(password)  # 'my password'


# we can also enable strict mode when we need to find a place where the password can be displayed

    print(password)  # SecureStringStrictError, Method "__str__" does not allowed in strict mode context
