Without assigning the returnvalue to a variable the interpreter will
show you the result of the call. If you have a look at the my example,
you will see the behaviour...

Python 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

>>> import getpass
>>> getpass.getpass()
Password:
'hello'
>>> s=getpass.getpass()
Password:
>>> print s
hello
>>>

Hope that helps
