password input in rsync

[Ben Park]

Hi,

I am trying to automate the process of getting files using rsync. Here
is what I do:

myPass = '1234'
temp1 = "rsync -avz -e 'ssh -l benpark' guppy:temp1 ."
out1,in1,err1 = popen2.popen3(temp1)
in1.write(myPass)

But it does not work. rsync does not take password input from the
standard in.

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
