[issue24711] Document getpass.getpass behavior on ^C
New submission from Markus Unterwaditzer: getpass.getpass doesn't enter a newline when the user aborts input with ^C, while input/raw_input does. This behavior is surprising and can lead to mis-formatting of subsequent output. However, since this behavior exists since 2.7 and applications may have started to rely on it, I'd add a note to the documentation. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 247302 nosy: docs@python, untitaker priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document getpass.getpass behavior on ^C versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24711> _______________________________________
Irit Katriel <iritkatriel@yahoo.com> added the comment: I don't see a difference between getpass and input in this respect: ---------------- import getpass try: getpass.getpass('getpass: ') except: pass print('goodbye getpass') try: input('input: ') except: pass print('goodbye input') ------------------ If I run that script and ^C after each prompt, I get this:
python.bat x.py Running Release|x64 interpreter... getpass: goodbye getpass input: goodbye input
