How do I make the text in an Entry appear as an * in python (tkinter)

Question

I am making a program that I need the user to enter a password, but I need to know how to make the text in an entry appear as an * so it looks real.

Answer 1

Specify show option with the character you want to display instead of the characters you typed:

from Tkinter import *  # from tkinter import *  in Python 3.x

root = Tk()
Entry(root, show='*').pack()
root.mainloop()
