Another way is to prefix the command with whitespace.

Only if..

    export HISTCONTROL=ignorespace

..is set (either by default or explicitly)

  python3 -c 'import getpass, hashlib; print(hashlib.sha1(getpass.getpass().encode("utf-8")).hexdigest())'

Avoids history, doesn't echo to the terminal.

In fact, you should be able to just make a rudimentary CLI into Troy's API simply with:

  #!/bin/bash
  HASH="$(python3 -c 'import getpass, hashlib; print(hashlib.sha1(getpass.getpass().encode("utf-8")).hexdigest().upper())')"
  curl -sS "https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/${HASH:0:5}" | grep "${HASH:5}"

(It'll emit the line from the API response matching your pass; if it does, then that password was compromised. Bash isn't real good at error handling though, so my biggest concern would be what this might do if an HTTP/TCP error happened. I've attempted to throw -S there to catch that, but use with your head screwed on.)
