Version of Python you are running

python 3.5

Version of steem-python you are running

Latest version.

Expected behavior

After successfully installing steem-python in ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I tried to use the following command to initiate a password for CL1 wallet:

steempy changewalletpassphrase

Then it jumped out a prompt:

passphrase:

I expected it to prompt me to enter password and confirm, then save it.

Actual behavior

However, it was not, whatever I entered, it will always complain:

How to reproduce

  1. I have pre-installed python 3.6 in my ubuntu 16.04 LTS;

  2. install steem-python as instructed in the manual: pip3 install -U steem

  3. I have checked that my steempy is successfully installed: image.png

  4. Then I entered the command:

    steempy changewalletpassphrase

The steempy jumped out prompt for me to enter a password:

passphrase:

Whatever password I entered, it will always complain as I described above.

This should be the password in steempy wallet, so that I can import my steem account and linked to this wallet subsequently.
