Type text without displaying text

Question

I need something like raw_input, but without displaying the text you are typing. Also I tried getpass, but it still displays what I just typed.

Answer 1

getpass work very well either in command prompt or in python script.

import getpass
x = getpass.getpass("Input something: ")
print x

Answer 2

getpass() doesn't work in IDLE. Try it in command prompt or on the terminal.
