THIS MODULE HAS BEEN RENAMED TO PWINPUT. See https://pypi.org/project/pwinput/
No more updates will be made to this module. Please switch to pwinput instead.
You'll need to change import stdiomask to import pwinput and stdiomask.getpass() to pwinput.pwinput().
A cross-platform Python module for entering passwords to a stdio terminal and displaying a **** mask, which getpass cannot do.
To install with pip, run:
pip install stdiomask
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 stdiomask.getpass() function instead.
Typical usage:
>>> import stdiomask
>>> stdiomask.getpass() # Show * for each typed character.
Password: *********
'swordfish'
>>> stdiomask.getpass(prompt='PW: ') # Show a custom prompt.
PW: *********
'swordfish'
>>> stdiomask.getpass(mask='X') # Show a different character when user types.
Password: XXXXXXXXX
'swordfish'
>>> stdiomask.getpass(mask='') # Don't show anything when user types (falls back and calls getpass.getpass()).
Password:
'swordfish'
