Password Input

I'm currently doing my coursework for computing, and currently I'm making a registration section.

What I'm struggling with is getting the input entry to show Astrix's or circles.

I'm using the module graphics.

Code:

from graphics import *
import urllib.request, re

def Login():
    LoginScreen = GraphWin("Login",300,100)
    file = open("users.csv","r")
    readfile = file.read()
    UsernameLabel = Text(Point(45,25),"Username: ")
    UsernameLabel.draw(LoginScreen)
    UsernameText = Entry(Point(158,25),16)
    UsernameText.draw(LoginScreen)
    username = ''
    LoginScreen.getMouse()
    LoginScreen.close()

def Register():
    RegisterScreen = GraphWin("Register",300,150)
    UsernameRegLabel = Text(Point(45,25),"Username: ")
    UsernameRegLabel.draw(RegisterScreen)
    UsernameRegText = Entry(Point(158,25),16)
    UsernameRegText.draw(RegisterScreen)
    PasswordRegLabel = Text(Point(45,50),"Password: ")
    PasswordRegLabel.draw(RegisterScreen)
    PasswordRegText = Entry(Point(158,50),16)
    PasswordRegText.draw(RegisterScreen)
    RegisterScreen.getMouse()
    RegisterScreen.close()

def GetMouse():
    p = MainWin.getMouse()
    x = p.getX()
    y = p.getY()
    print(x)
    print(y)
    if x>=197 and x<=260:
        if y>=230 and y<=250:
            Login()
    if x>=197 and x<=297:
        if y>=260 and y<=285:
            Register()
    
def DrawBackground():
    return
    
def DrawMenuItems():
    Main = Text(Point(300,200),"Main Menu")
    Main.setSize(32)
    Main.draw(MainWin)
    Login = Text(Point(228,240),"Login")
    Login.setSize(20)
    Login.draw(MainWin)
    Register = Text(Point(245,270),"Register")
    Register.setSize(20)
    Register.draw(MainWin)

MainWin = GraphWin("Fantasy Football",600,600)

DrawBackground()
DrawMenuItems()
while True:
    GetMouse()

The bit I'm struggling with is

Code:

PasswordRegText = Entry(Point(158,50),16)
PasswordRegText.draw(RegisterScreen)

How do I get it to show circles or Asterixs?

asterisk.

Use this symbol:
⍟
In base 10 the unicode number is 9055.

If you want * in the box you can use setText. If you want each character entered to show as an asterisk, I don't think the graphics module can do that. Look at the "show=" option in Tkinter's entry box.

Code:

from Tkinter import *

class PasswordGetter:
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = Tk()
        frame = Frame(self.root)

        lbl = Label(frame, text="Username ")
        lbl.grid(row=0, column=0, stick=N+E+S+W)

        self.user_name = StringVar()
        self.username_entry = Entry(frame, width=20, \
                              textvariable=self.user_name)
        self.username_entry.grid(row=0, column=1, stick=N+E+S+W)

        lbl = Label(frame, text="Password ")
        lbl.grid(row=1, column=0, stick=N+E+S+W)

        self.passw = StringVar()
        self.password_entry = Entry(frame, show="*", width=20, textvariable=self.passw
        self.password_entry.grid(row=1, column=1, stick=N+E+S+W)

        login_button = Button(text="Login",
                               command=self.buttonCallback)
 
        login_button = Button(text="Login",
                               command=self.buttonCallback)
        login_button.grid(row=2, columnspan=2, stick=N+E+S+W)

        frame.grid(row=0, padx=2, pady=2, stick=N+E+S+W)
        self.root.mainloop()


    def buttonCallback(self):
            print self.user_name.get(), self.passw.get()
            self.root.destroy()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pg = PasswordGetter()

You can use setText to set the text shown in an Entry box. If you want each character entered to display as an * I don't think the Graphics module can do that. Look at the "show=" option in the Tkinter entry box.

Code:

class PasswordGetter:
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = Tk()
        frame = Frame(self.root)

        lbl = Label(frame, text="Username ")
        lbl.grid(row=0, column=0, stick=N+E+S+W)

        self.user_name = StringVar()
        self.username_entry = Entry(frame, width=20, \
                              textvariable=self.user_name)
        self.username_entry.grid(row=0, column=1, stick=N+E+S+W)

        lbl = Label(frame, text="Password ")
        lbl.grid(row=1, column=0, stick=N+E+S+W)

        self.passw = StringVar()
        self.password_entry = Entry(frame, show="*", width=20, textvariable=self.passw)
        self.password_entry.grid(row=1, column=1, stick=N+E+S+W)

        login_button = Button(text="Login",
                               command=self.buttonCallback)
        login_button.grid(row=2, columnspan=2, stick=N+E+S+W)

        frame.grid(row=0, padx=2, pady=2, stick=N+E+S+W)
        self.root.mainloop()


    def buttonCallback(self):
            print self.user_name.get(), self.passw.get()
            self.root.destroy()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pg = PasswordGetter()
