title: Masking user input in python with asterisks
body: <p>I am trying to mask what the user types into IDLE with asterisks so people around them can't see what they're typing/have typed in. I'm using basic raw input to collect what they type.</p>
  
  <pre><code>key = raw_input('Password :: ')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Ideal IDLE prompt after user types password:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Password :: **********
  </code></pre>
