This is really eased by the module getpass (std library) : ### import getpass login = getpass.getuser() password = getpass.getpass() ### If the username is different from your system login this can be changed to : ### import getpass login = raw_input('login: ') password = getpass.getpass() ### Python definitely comes with batteries included ! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
