There is a plusungood bug in Python 2.6 which makes getpass() echo the password to the screen[1]. It's fixed upstream it seems, but the fix hasn't been released yet. I've created new Python packages to which I've applied the patch extracted from the bug report. I did a couple more changes when I was at rebuilding Python. Here's the list of changes:
- Version bump up from 2.6.2 to 2.6.4 (upstream changes listed: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.4/NEWS.txt) - All testing-related files have been moved from CSWpython to CSWpython-test (except the unittest module) - distutils is included in the main (CSWpython) package - CSWpython-rt is now an empty deprecated package Test packages can be obtained from http://mirror.opencsw.org/testing.html Maciej [1] http://bugs.python.org/issue7208 _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/users
