Modifying the subject...
And I repeat, please don't send the whole digest,
delete the excess irrelevant stuff! (see below!)

Thanks a lot for the help guys, but when I use the getpass.getpass(Enter your word here, I get a different response to what you get. This is what
happen with mine:

import getpass
s = getpass.getpass("Enter your word here: ")
Warning: Password input may be echoed.
Please enter your secret word: hangman

I'm guessing that its something to do with the "Warning: Password may be
echoed" line. In the documentation it says:

"If echo free input is unavailable getpass() falls back to printing a
warning message to stream and reading
from sys.stdin and issuing a GetPassWarning."

What OS and terminal are you using?
It may be possible to enable echo free input...
