title: Python getpass.getpass() function call hangs
body: <p>I am trying to get a prompt that will ask for my password but when I try to call <code>getpass.getpass()</code> it just freezes. I am running on Windows 7 64 bit using Python 2.7 on Canopy.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import sys
  import getpass
  
  p = getpass.getpass()
  print p
  </code></pre>
