getpass2

A better lib compared with standard 'getpass' in Python, easier and simpler to use.

How to install:

pip install getpass2

How to use:

Make sure you are in your console.

from getpass2 import getpass

And then the function getpass will return what you typed and show how many characters you have typed!

example

When the mode is 'n' means show numbers. You can see it as follows:

#coding:utf-8
import sys

from getpass2 import *

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print getpass(prompt='\bplease input your username(there should contains no space):', mode='n')

#coding:utf-8
import sys

from getpass2 import *

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print getpass(prompt='\bplease input your username(there should contains no space):', mode='r', delimiter='*')

If something doesn't work, you can also copy the source named getpass2.py to your workspace. That will be OK!

Tips

You can custom your tip statement for the prompt parameter.

And most importantly, when you want to custom you tip parameter, remember to add a '%d' in it. That's really really important.

Finally, hope you can get happiness after using getpass2. Thank you!
