Overview

PWInput

A cross-platform Python module that displays **** for password input. Works on Windows, unlike getpass. Formerly called stdiomask.

Installation

To install with pip, run:

pip install pwinput

Quickstart Guide

The getpass.getpass() function in the Python Standard Library won't display "mask" characters as you type; it only displays nothing as you type. If you want mask characters to appear, you can use the pwinput.pwinput() function instead.

Typical usage:

>>> import pwinput
>>> pwinput.pwinput()  # Show * for each typed character.
Password: *********
'swordfish'
>>> pwinput.pwinput(prompt='PW: ')  # Show a custom prompt.
PW: *********
'swordfish'
>>> pwinput.pwinput(mask='X')  # Show a different character when user types.
Password: XXXXXXXXX
'swordfish'
>>> pwinput.pwinput(mask='') # Don't show anything when user types (falls back and calls getpass.getpass()).
Password:
'swordfish'

Add typed marker file
Due to lacking of py.typed and configuration of package_data, this package is not providing typed information. In my project using pwinput, mypy says:

... gppt/auth.py:5: error: Skipping analyzing "pwinput": module is installed, but missing library stubs or py.typed marker [import] import pwinput ^ gppt/auth.py:5: note: See https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/running_mypy.html#missing-imports ...

So I added them.

See: PEP 561#Packaging Type Information

Package maintainers who wish to support type checking of their code MUST add a marker file named py.typed to their package supporting typing. This marker applies recursively: if a top-level package includes it, all its sub-packages MUST support type checking as well. To have this file installed with the package, maintainers can use existing packaging options such as package_data in distutils, shown below.
