Comment (by akaariai):
For PostgreSQL: We could instruct users to save the password in their
.pgpass file. First try with -w (never prompt for password) if that does
not succeed add a hint "Can't login without password - try saving
connection information to your .pgpass file (see ... for details)". Then
try again without -w.
Alternate solution is to create a temporary password file, and make sure
it is not word-readable. Then, use the environment variable PGPASSFILE to
use the temporary password file. It seems it should be easy to make this
work on Linux, but Windows will be a bit harder (see
http://docs.python.org/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile)
