Hi,
I'm trying to read a Gmail password from the pwsafe command in Arch. I added
the following command in my remote Gmail repository:
remotepasseval = get_keyring_passwd("google")
and the following Python function in my .offlineimap.py file:
def get_keyring_passwd(keyname)
	pipe = os.popen("pwsafe -E -p -q "+keyname, 'r')
	passwd = pipe.readline().rstrip("\n")
	return passwd
When I run offlineimap, I get prompted to enter my password for another
account, and for my password database, on the same line. The input is all
confused; I can press enter multiple times and nothing happens. I was expecting
that the execpasswd commands would execute one at a time and block when done,
but they seem to be executing concurrently. Is there a way to force the desired
behavior?
