Summary: tkSimpleDialog.askString option

Initial Comment:
I read the documentation of tkSimpleDialog.askString
and found that there are only two options: initialvalue
and parent.

However, it doesn't support the option, show, from the
Entry widget option that avoids echoing the string I
input. I found the tkSimpleDialog.askString is a
perfect fit for dialogs asking for encryption key or
password. Although it is easy to write my own, I don't
see the need because of an option.

Many thanks
Joe

If you can submit this as a patch to the existing code it'll
breeze right through. If you wait for one of us to write it,
it may be a loooooooong time before we get to it (like when
we need this ourselves :-).

Since you know how to do it, it shouldn't be too hard for
you to prepare a patch. See
http://python.sourceforge.net/sf-faq.html#patches
