collections broken when used with user-supplied password

[0-wiz-0]

In a working config without password, I changed from one collection to many, i.e.:

collections = alt

became

collections = alt,kurse,jahrestage,privat 

This doesn't work. It asks for 4 passwords at once and errors out:

Server password for user at the resource https://example.com/caldav.php/user/kurse: Server password for user at the resource https://example.com/caldav.php/user/alt: Server password for user at the resource https://example.com/caldav.php/user/privat: Server password for user at the resource https://example.com/caldav.php/user/jahrestage:

This works fine when putting the password in the configuration file though.

The underlying problem is one i'd like to get solved upstream in click, or a separate package extending click. It'll take quite a while, for now all i can advise is to avoid password prompting, sorry.

[untitaker]

The problem with overlapping prompts has been fixed. It still asks for the password multiple times, but i am not sure how to fix that without introducing global state.

Regarding ^C, i've been told to literally "give up" on fixing that issue by the #python channel on Freenode.

Everything else should work though:

• No overlapping prompts
• No prompting passwords more than once for each hostname.

in offlineimap ^C doesn't work most of the time either...
