I am writing a terminal based project for a course using python. At the moment my code looks like this:

user_input = input("Please input your age here")
print(f"Your age is {user_input} years old")

And in the terminal looks like:

Please input your age here
25
Your age is 25 years old

I want to hide where the user has put 25, ie. I want the terminal readout to look like;

Please input your age here
Your age is 25 years old

It may not be possible but as the user interface s the terminal I want it to look as clean as possible

Use getpass:

from getpass import getpass
user_input = getpass("Please input your age here")
print(f"Your age is {user_input} years old")

Getting a hidden password input
