[Python] Not able to import getpass in python

I have a requirement to input username and password from the console. For the password I am using

password = getpass.getpass('Enter password')


I have used import getpass But getting

ImportError : no module named getpass


Also tried setting the pythonpath using

export pythonpath=/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages:/usr/lib/python2.4


Code:

#!/usr/bin/python2.4

import sys
import getpass

WL_USER = raw_input('Enter the username to login to BI EM:')
WL_PASSWD = getpass.getpass('Enter the password:')
HOST_NAME = raw_input('Enter the BI host URL')
WL_PORT = raw_input('Enter the admin port for BI')


error:

ImportError: no module named getpass
