Summary: getpass.getpass() performs differently on Windows vs *nix
Initial Comment:
getpass.getpass() on *nix platforms allows users to
input unicode characters and other NLS input.
getpass.getpass() on Windows only allows ASCII input in
the 0-127 codepage range. This means that getpass can
not be used cross-platform for complex passwords.

What makes you think that? I tried it on Windows XP, in a
cmd.exe session.
I could enter, for example, an ΓΌ (umlauted u), which in the
resulting string came out encoded as \x81, as is correct in
the encoding used by the console window, namely cp850. I
could then convert this to latin1 by using
s.decode(sys.stdin.encoding).encode("latin-1").
