the module getpass contains 2 functions, getuser() and getpass() : getuser() returns the username of the user executing the python script on the machine where the script is executed. getpass() prompts the user for a password and returns it in a string whitout printing it on screen (just as the text mode login on linux or ssh). By the way this is better explained in the official python documentation. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-getpass.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
