JPython lacked getpass() so I modified the registry to add my CPython libraries as per the documentation. Unfortunately the JPython program when calling getpass.getpass() is echoing the plaintext password to the terminal. Similar (read: identical) usage in a regular CPython program does not.

Java have no way of reading a password from stdin without echoing the characters. As a result, the getpass module use a normal raw_input as fallback. Support for loading and using nonstandard or JNI module which supplies this features will be welcome.
