Python getpass.getpass() function call hangs

I am trying to get a prompt that will ask for my password but when I try to call getpass.getpass() it just freezes. I am running on Windows 7 64 bit using Pytho

Faced the same issue with getpass (mingw64) and found this simple solution.

os.system("stty -echo")
password = input('Enter Password:')
os.system("stty echo")
print("")
