As you warn me at the start of this post,
i have strange effect with this regex:
when i do tar command i have a prompt like "tar: "
when i launch a script python with some raw-input,
in a python-shell (ipython) the prompt is hidden like a password.

So i tried to modify the regex again:
I can have a prompt for su correct but always with side effects on 
some other commands.

I think the best should be modifying bash to avoid this stupid
"Mot de passe : " and have a normal "Password: "
without modifying the locale env variables.
But i don't know where i can modify that for the moment.

If emacs is started with LC_ALL=C the prompt is "Password: "
Thats a way to do but some errors can appear on french files(not sure)
