How to encrypt data input into fields?

[Matthew Baur]

I am using python PMw megawedgit EntryField

[self.accountName = Pmw.EntryField(win2,labelpos='w',label_text='Usern ame',validate=None)
self.accountComment = Pmw.EntryField(win2,labelpos='w',label_text='UserC omment',validate=None)
self.primaryGID = Pmw.EntryField(win2,labelpos='w',label_text='Prima ry Group', entry_state='readonly',value='lsmgroup',validate=N one)
]

would like to create a password field that would show a "." for each character when the password is entered into the field.

In a Tkinter entry widget it is the "show="*"" option. I think PMW uses something like "entry_show="*"" but am not sure.
