Hello,

I need to get password from console, I tried
import getpass
pwd = getpass.getpass()
But this do not work - I get a Warning: Problem with getpass. Password may 
be echoed.
and really the password will be displayed on console.

I looked at System.Console which has the methods Read() and ReadLine(), 
but I don't know how to configure 
these methods, so that they will not display the input string. 
I searched on web for an example in VB.NET or C#, but I found nothing. 
So, my question is: How can I read password from console in IronPython?

Regards
