We need to pass our username and password in our request. We need to keep track of the response.
Close the text editor and go back in the shell.
username = input('username (e.g. admin): ')
password = getpass.getpass('password: ')
We want to use getpass.getpass(‘password: ‘) so the password doesn’t get echoed to the screen. IDLE will still echo the password, but you can ignore this for testing and development.
