Jim Jewett <jimjjew...@gmail.com> added the comment: msvcrt.getwch has a similar failure, returning (2**16)-1.
Because of this, getpass.win_getpass (used as getpass.getpass on windows) echoes the password when using Idle (even without a subprocess), but does not echo passwords when from a command-line python. ---------- nosy: +Jim.Jewett _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9290> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
