python - getpass.getpass() error without other code?

Question

import getpass    
password=getpass.getpass(prompt="Password: ")
print(password)

This really simple code displays the error:

Warning (from warnings module):
  File "C:Python33libgetpass.py", line 92
    return fallback_getpass(prompt, stream)
GetPassWarning: Can not control echo on the terminal.
Warning: Password input may be echoed.
Password: 

It does work as an input but the prompt isn't working. Running python 33 64-bit, anyone know whats happening?

Answer 1

Try running it on cmd.exe or windows PowerShell, instead of IDLE's.

i.e

> python myscript.py

Assuming you have the python executable on your path, and you're in the current directory of myscript.py.
