[issue32884] Adding the ability for getpass to print asterisks when passowrd is typed
Matanya Stroh added the comment:
for getpass.win_getpass() it can simply be done by adding this line
msvcrt.putch("*").
So the code will look like:
def win_getpass(prompt='Password: ', stream=None):
"""Prompt for password with echo off, using Windows getch()."""
if sys.stdin is not sys.__stdin__:
return fallback_getpass(prompt, stream)
for c in prompt:
msvcrt.putwch(c)
pw = ""
while 1:
c = msvcrt.getwch()
if c == '\r' or c == '\n':
break
if c == '\003':
raise KeyboardInterrupt
if c == '\b':
pw = pw[:-1]
else:
pw = pw + c
msvcrt.putch("*") #Line that was added
msvcrt.putwch('\r')
msvcrt.putwch('\n')
return pw

[issue32884] Adding the ability for getpass to print asterisks when passowrd is typed
New submission from Matanya Stroh : I saw some questions about it in stackoverflow (links below), and also find it very useful to have the ability to print asterisks. Some users, find it disturbing when they don't have any indication that password is typed, and it will be helpful to have it. I know that it's have some risks exposing the number of chars to the password, but I think it's worth it. When using Jupyter (notebook server is 4.3.1) the password does echoed as "*", but not in Python IDE in linux and Windows 1) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10990998/how-to-have-password-echoed-as-asterisks 2) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7838564/how-to-read-password-with-echo-in-python-console-program -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 312410 nosy: matanya.stroh priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Adding the ability for getpass to print asterisks when passowrd is typed type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue32884> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue32783] ln(2) isn't accurate in _math.c in cpython
New submission from Matanya Stroh : In cpython/Modules/_math.c there is definition of as const ln2 the value that in that const isn't correct (at least not accurate) This is value that in the file: ln2 = 0.693147180559945286227 (cpython) but when calculating the value in wolframalpha, this is the value we get. ln2 = 0.6931471805599453094172321214581 (wolframalpha) and this is the value from Wikipedia ln2 = 0.693147180559945309417232121458 (wikipedia) also this is the thread in stackoverflow regarding this issue https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48644767/ln2-const-value-in-math-c-in-cpython -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 311749 nosy: matanya.stroh priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: ln(2) isn't accurate in _math.c in cpython type: behavior versions: Python 3.8 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue32783> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
