Guido van Rossum	98d9fd3e68	Simple changes by Gerrit Holl - move author acknowledgements out of ... docstrings into comments.	2000-02-28 15:12:25 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton	88d23309e9	print a warning if the password will be echoed. ... At import time, getpass will be bound to the appropriate platform-specific function. If the platform's echo-disabler is not available, default_getpass, which prints the warning, will be used	1999-10-18 22:25:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum	c731723730	Mod by Jack Jansen: on Macintosh, use EasyDialogs.GetPassword if it ... exists.	1999-02-11 14:41:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum	0238a25b20	Do the check for lacking sys.stdin.fileno() *before* testing for ... Windows. If sys.stdin doesn't appear to be a real file (characterized by having a working fileno()), don't use any console specific methods -- go straight to the default.	1998-09-22 02:38:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum	ef0056ae1a	When sys.stdin.fileno() doesn't work, fall back to default_getpass() ... -- don't just die.	1998-09-21 20:00:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum	1a7bab05e8	Don't use raw_input() to ask for the password; this puts the password ... in the GNU readline history buffer which is not such a great idea.	1998-07-28 19:28:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum	c3da02e904	Don't catch interrupts in getpass() -- the finally clause will reset ... the tty and the caller can deal with the interrupt. In the windows version, recognize ^C and raise KeyboardInterrupt (not sure if this is needed, but can't hurt).	1998-06-12 14:28:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum	fb9b7fd5ee	Be nicer to systems that have neither termios nor msvcrt.	1998-04-13 20:22:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum	b5903ac9fb	Another new utility: getpass() prompts for a password, with echo off. ... Also contains getuser(), which returns the username (not prompting though). These work on Unix and Windows!	1998-04-09 20:37:16 +00:00
