I simply want to implement a custom create() method on my ModelViewSet subclass that calls set_password() with a posted password on the created object. I am using my User class as a custom Django user class and when I try to serialize the password field directly (which is not explicitly declared on the model) it does not do anything. I have to be able to call set_password after, or in the process of, creating the object. I tried overriding various methods in my viewset as well as my serializer but to no effect. Strange thing is, when I try to override create() on the viewset and call set_password() after serializer.save(), I get a uniqueness constraint error on my username field though the object being created isn't even in the dtabase yet. Why is this?
