#298 closed defect (FIXED)
./bin/gmg adduser should take password, email as arguments, and prompt if not provided

Description
Instead of being sequential arguments, email and password (or at least password) should be --keyword arguments. If not provided, we should prompt the user for them (and obscure the password as being entered). This is a fairly easy and entry level task.

Done. Repo: [https://gitorious.org/\ :sub:`manolinux/mediagoblin/manolinuxs-mediagoblin](https://gitorious.org/`\ manolinux/mediagoblin/manolinuxs-mediagoblin) Branch: 645\_gmg\_adduser\_prompt Notes: - I created a function in ``utils.py`` '``prompt_if_not_set``' (I don't know if it would be the correct location). - I used ``raw_input`` for clear text and ``getpass.getpass`` for passwords. - Maybe, I could make more checks on input (empty username, lengths, and so).

Merged! Thanks so much :)
BTW, I made a few adjustments:
`https://gitorious.org/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/commit/bbac7663f4b05430592ac5d39f056029dc11db92 <https://gitorious.org/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/commit/bbac7663f4b05430592ac5d39f056029dc11db92>`_
FYI for in the future:
- It would be helpful to make your code compliant to PEP-8. It
really helps keep code consistent and thus more readable:
`http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>`_
- Also, not a big deal, but I saw you did None.. I generally find
that if you're doing a comparison to None rather than to False,
maybe you mean "is None"... "is None" will make sure it's None, "
None" is the same basically as "== False" iirc. Could be wrong
though.
- Lastly, if you do string operations, best to do stuff like
foo + u"bleh"
instead of
::
foo + "bleh"
This just helps us avoid some unicode decoding issues :)
Thanks much! Great work :)

Great, thanks. I'm new to python, so I will take your advices in much consideration :)
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

I pick this one, if you don't mind. It was indeed, very instructive. I am also enabling short options, like that: :: optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --username USERNAME, -u USERNAME Username used to login --password PASSWORD, -p PASSWORD Your supersecret word to login, beware: it could be stored in your bash history --email EMAIL, -e EMAIL Email to recieve notifications since writing full options is quite tedious.
