Stdio Mask
A cross-platform Python module for entering passwords to a stdio terminal and displaying a **** mask, which getpass cannot do.
Installation
To install with pip, run:
pip install stdiomask
Quickstart Guide
The getpass.getpass() function in the Python Standard Library won't display "mask" characters as you type; it only displays nothing as you type. If you want mask characters to appear, you can use the stdio.getpass() function instead.
Typical usage:
>>> import stdiomask
>>> stdiomask.getpass()
Password: *********
'swordfish'
>>> stdiomask.getpass(prompt='PW: ')
PW: *********
'swordfish'
>>> stdiomask.getpass(mask='X')
Password: XXXXXXXXX
'swordfish'
>>> stdiomask.getpass(mask='') # Falls back and calls getpass.getpass()
Password:
'swordfish'
