delta/cpython.git/Lib/getpass.py, branch v2.7

Fixes issue7208 - getpass would still allow the password to be echoed on

2009-10-31T21:26:08+00:00

Solaris due to not flushing the input buffer.

This change also incorporates some additional getpass implementation
suggestions for security based on an analysis of getpass.c linked to from the
issue.

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.

If sys.stdin is not a tty, fall back to default_getpass after printing

a warning instead of failing with a termios.error.

Bug #1445068: getpass.getpass() can now be given an explicit stream

argument to specify where to write the prompt.

Fix SF #640094, on win32 getpass runs into unix_getpass

2002-11-20T23:15:54+00:00

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.

win_getpass(): if sys.stdin is not sys.stdin, use

2001-08-30T15:07:44+00:00

default_getpass().  This should prevent hanging when it is called in
IDLE.

Fixes SF bug #455648.

Remove two redundant statements (PyChecker).

2001-08-13T15:30:22+00:00

Get the needed constants from termios, not TERMIOS.
