Testing the data type of a value

[binoythomas1108]

When I run the following code, I get the following output:
>>> print(type(5))
class 'int'

Next, I try to compare the data-type of 5 with the earlier output, I get no 
output:
>>> if type(5) == "":
print("Integer")

Why isn't this working? Advance thanks for your time.

and regards from
Binoy

Implementing C++'s getch() in Python

[binoythomas1108]

I'm working on Python 3.7 under Windows. I need a way to input characters 
without echoing them on screen, something that getch() did effectively in C++. 
I read about the unicurses, ncurses and curses modules, which I was not able to 
install using pip.

Is there any way of getting this done?

Hi Shakti!

Thanks for your response. I have tried getpass() but got the following warning:

Warning (from warnings module):
  File 
"C:\Users\Binoy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\getpass.py", line 
100
return fallback_getpass(prompt, stream)
GetPassWarning: Can not control echo on the terminal.
Warning: Password input may be echoed.

And true enough, the input string is echoed. I saw a video where getpass() 
worked on Linux. So, probably, its a Windows thing.

Still looking for a solution to the same on Windows.

I've run getpass() on IDLE, Spyder, PyCharm and Mu. All with negative results.
