google appengine appcfg.py tweak to allow passing password on command line

to get appcfg.py to accept --password on the command line instead of being prompted for it:


change:

appengine/google_appengine/google/appengine/tools/appcfg.py

add the following in the parser.add_option section:

parser.add_option("-p","--password", action="store", dest="password",
                  metavar="PASSWORD", default=None,
                  help="The password")

Then modify the GetUserCredentials function:

def GetUserCredentials():
  """Prompts the user for a username and password."""
  email = self.options.email
  if email is None:
    email = self.raw_input_fn("Email: ")

  password = self.options.password
  if password is None:
    password = self.raw_input_fn("Password: ")

#      password_prompt = "Password for %s: " % email
#      if self.options.passin:
#        password = self.raw_input_fn(password_prompt)
#      else:
#        password = self.password_input_fn(password_prompt)

  return (email, password)

That's it, now you can call:

 appcfg.py update demos/guestbook --email=email@gmail.com --password=xxxx
