Is There Easy Way To Prevent Echo From Input?

How to prevent echo from input ?? Have tried 'getpass()' but no luck. On Windows IDLE, it doesn't work Python 3.3.2 (v3.3.2:d047928ae3f6, May 16 2013, 00:03:43) [MSC v.1600 32

Solution 1:

I'm assuming your first example there is in IDLE.

From getpass.win_getpass():

if sys.stdin is not sys.__stdin__:
    return fallback_getpass(prompt, stream)

IDLE replaces sys.stdin with a different object. getpass detects that somebody has wrapped stdin and fails for security reasons.
