Hi,
If you're specifically trying to do something with ssh there is
gnome_ask_pass package which does what you describe.
But, assuming this is a general question my attempts below. It's just
GtkEntry with the 'set_visbility' method used. The only thing I couldn't work
out was how to get it to respond to someone hitting the return key so you have
to click the OK button - anyone know how to do this?
#!/usr/bin/env python
""" Forms a 'password entry window' that takes a password up to 8 chars """
""" wide and prints it. """
import gtk
class GUI:
""" Form the GUI and bootstrap the application """
def __init__(self):
self.root = gtk.GtkWindow(type=gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL,
title="Entry
example")
self.root.connect("destroy", gtk.mainquit)
# Button box
self.mbox = gtk.GtkVBox()
self.root.add(self.mbox)
# Message for the window
self.pword = gtk.GtkEntry(maxlen=8)
self.pword.set_visibility(gtk.FALSE)
self.mbox.add(self.pword)
# OK button
self.okbut = gtk.GtkButton("OK")
self.mbox.add(self.okbut)
self.okbut.connect("pressed", self.pword_cb)
# Show all the windows
self.root.show_all()
self.mainloop()
""" This is the Apps mainloop """
def mainloop(self):
gtk.mainloop()
def pword_cb(self, pwidget):
print "The password was %s" % self.pword.get_text()
if __name__ == '__main__':
myGUI = GUI()
Hope that answers it,
Steve
