Comment:
I think the `--password` option is not made available by design.
It is a bad practice to allow passing passwords on the command line,
because the password will end up in clear text in your
`~/.${SHELL}_history`.
Line 58 only ensures that `password` is initialized before line 117. It is
useful when `interactive` is `False`.
Take a look at r15631. The comment was written to explain why the default
value is `None` and not `''`. Granted, it's not very clear.
