Python Problem Overview

Can I get console input without echo in python?

Python Solutions

Solution 1 - Python

Use getpass:

>>> from getpass import getpass
>>> getpass()
Password:
'secret'

Solution 2 - Python

There is also another solution (at least on unix systems, I don't know if this is working on Windows). Simply switch off the console output and use raw_input:

os.system("stty -echo")
password = raw_input('Enter Password:')
os.system("stty echo")
print "\n"

Solution 3 - Python

Maybe the ['console'][1] module is your only bet (it's kinda 'fork' of the curses module for Unix), however I haven't seen anything related to terminal echo disabling in its homepage, you might try to dig into it by yourself.
