[Python-ideas] Password masking for getpass.getpass

[Muhammad Ahmed Khalid]

Greetings,

I am working on a project and I am using getpass.getpass() to grab
passwords from the user.

Some of the users wanted asterisks to be displayed when they were typing in
the passwords for feedback i.e. how many characters were typed and how many
to backspace.

Therefore I have created a solution but I think the feature should come by
default (and the programmer should have the option to use a blank or any
other character).

The code lives here: https://goo.gl/OeY3QI

Please let me know about your thoughts on the issue. Also my apologies if
this is the wrong mailing list. Please guide me in the right direction if
that is the case.

Sincerely,
King Mak
