Entry

I'm trying to get a user's username and password but by using raw_input() the password is echoed to the screen. How can I make it so that their password isn't shown?

Look for the module getpass in the library reference. It also supports
windows according to the document string.

    import getpass
    password = getpass.getpass()

If you still see the password echoed to the screen, then you're missing 
some functionality, probably termios. Check out the getpass.py code for 
the decision tree that is followed.
