python - replace all characters in a string with asterisks

I have a string

name = "Ben"

that I turn into a list

word = list(name)

I want to replace the characters of the list with asterisks. How can I do this?

I tried using the .replace function, but that was too specific and didn't change all the characters at once.

I need a general solution that will work for any string.

See Question&Answers more detail:os

I want to replace the characters of the list w/ asterisks

Instead, create a new string object with only asterisks, like this

word = '*' * len(name)

In Python, you can multiply a string with a number to get the same string concatenated. For example,

>>> '*' * 3
'***'
>>> 'abc' * 3
'abcabcabc'
