getpass() reads from the console via msvcrt.getwch(). This is a raw console read, so Ctrl+V is read as the SYN (0x16) control character. Only the following keys are handled specially by getpass: * Ctrl+C - raise KeyboardInterrupt * Ctrl+H (backspace) - delete the previous character * Ctrl+J (linefeed) and Ctrl+M (return) - return getpass() behaves pretty much the same in a Linux terminal emulator, except Ctrl+H isn't backspace. Recent versions of the console host in Windows 10 have an option to support pasting via Ctrl+Shift+V, regardless of the input mode. This is pretty common in Unix terminal emulators as well. You can change this setting in the Properties->Options dialog for a particular window or shortcut, or the default setting in the Defaults->Options dialog. In the "HKCU\Console" registry key, the DWORD value name is "InterceptCopyPaste". ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37426> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
