I'm going to answer my own question, in that I was able to use a ParameterFetcher transformer to convert the password to an attribute and then have the PythonCaller use the attribute value instead.

Thanks for this - saved a lot of banging my head on the desk!
ParameterFetcher has the bonus of correctly parsing special characters too.
