A better lib compared with standard 'getpass' in Python, easier and simpler to use.
pip install getpass2
Make sure you are in your console.
from getpass2 import getpassAnd then the function getpass will return what you typed and show how many characters you have typed!
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!
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!
