I made a login to a python program I created. Is there any way to make the characters show up as stars or something other than the actual character? I am using Python version 3.4.2, I need something I can put in my script. Thanks!
I suggest you read passwords either using no-echo from a TTY or just a direct stdin line read, only as a fallback.
Instead call a "password helper" program that is provided via an environment variable such as "TTY_ASKPASS".  ("ssh" and even "sudo" can do this!)
This means not only can a user provide a 'ask password with stars' but they can also input the password from other sources like a keyring daemon, or GUI popup.
Do not limit your users!
