hi everyone...... am designing an interface for security purposes where a user is allowed to enter a password to gain access...
i want when password is entered its ********** that appear on the text box instead of password secret itself so that if someone is looking at the screen he or she won't know the password.
here is my code:....
from Tkinter import *
class Application(Frame):
""" GUI application . """
def __init__(self, master):
""" Initialize the frame. """
Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.grid()
self.create_widgets()
def create_widgets(self):
""" Create button, text, and entry widgets. """
# create instruction label
self.inst_lbl = Label(self, text = "Enter password ")
self.inst_lbl.grid(row = 0, column = 0, columnspan = 2, sticky = W)
# create label for password
self.pw_lbl = Label(self, text = "Password: ")
self.pw_lbl.grid(row = 1, column = 0, sticky = W)
# create entry widget to accept password
self.pw_ent = Entry(self,type="password")
self.pw_ent.grid(row = 1, column = 1, sticky = W)
# create submit button
self.submit_bttn = Button(self, text = "Submit", command = self.reveal)
self.submit_bttn.grid(row = 2, column = 0, sticky = W)
# create text widget to display message
self.secret_txt = Text(self, width = 35, height = 5, wrap = WORD)
# create text widget to display message
self.secret_txt.grid(row = 3, column = 0, columnspan = 2, sticky = W)
def reveal(self):
""" Display message based on password. """
contents = self.pw_ent.get()
if contents == "secret":
app = Application(root)
root.mainloop()
else:
message = "That's not the correct password, so I can't share "\
"the secret with you."
self.secret_txt.delete(0.0, END)
self.secret_txt.insert(0.0, message)
# main
root = Tk()
root.title("password")
root.geometry("250x150")
app = Application(root)
root.mainloop()i have tried to use type = 'password' as in many other language but it is not the case for python. can anyone please help me to perform this.
thank you in advance.
