Gregory P. Smith 19b4411181 Major improvements:
* Default to using /dev/tty for the password prompt and input before
  falling back to sys.stdin and sys.stderr.
* Use sys.stderr instead of sys.stdout.
* print the 'password may be echoed' warning to stream used to display
  the prompt rather than always sys.stderr.
* warn() with GetPassWarning when input may be echoed.

Gregory P. Smith 41e3018336 If sys.stdin is not a tty, fall back to default_getpass after printing
a warning instead of failing with a termios.error.

Georg Brandl 338ef7d2bd Bug #1445068: getpass.getpass() can now be given an explicit stream
argument to specify where to write the prompt.

Neal Norwitz 201626e00f Fix SF #640094, on win32 getpass runs into unix_getpass
Make sure we have a UNIX-compatible termios.
Apparently, McMillan Installer made a termios on windows
which caused unix_getpass() to be used instead of win_getpass().

Will backport.

Guido van Rossum 60250e2859 win_getpass(): if sys.stdin is not sys.__stdin__, use
default_getpass().  This should prevent hanging when it is called in
IDLE.

Fixes SF bug #455648.

Jeremy Hylton 88d23309e9 print a warning if the password will be echoed.
At import time, getpass will be bound to the appropriate
platform-specific function.  If the platform's echo-disabler is not
available, default_getpass, which prints the warning, will be used

Guido van Rossum c731723730 Mod by Jack Jansen: on Macintosh, use EasyDialogs.GetPassword if it
exists.

Guido van Rossum 0238a25b20 Do the check for lacking sys.stdin.fileno() *before* testing for
Windows.  If sys.stdin doesn't appear to be a real file (characterized
by having a working fileno()), don't use any console specific methods
-- go straight to the default.

Guido van Rossum ef0056ae1a When sys.stdin.fileno() doesn't work, fall back to default_getpass()
-- don't just die.

Guido van Rossum 1a7bab05e8 Don't use raw_input() to ask for the password; this puts the password
in the GNU readline history buffer which is not such a great idea.

Guido van Rossum c3da02e904 Don't catch interrupts in getpass() -- the finally clause will reset
the tty and the caller can deal with the interrupt.

In the windows version, recognize ^C and raise KeyboardInterrupt (not
sure if this is needed, but can't hurt).

Guido van Rossum fb9b7fd5ee Be nicer to systems that have neither termios nor msvcrt. 1998-04-13 20:22:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b5903ac9fb Another new utility: getpass() prompts for a password, with echo off.
Also contains getuser(), which returns the username (not prompting though).
These work on Unix and Windows!
