in my model class, i have a synthetic property that doesn't map directly to a table field, and it is initialized in the constructor:
class User(BaseModel): def __init__(self): self._pwd = '' def get_pwd(self): return self._pwd def set_pwd(self, pwd): self._pwd = pwd self.hashed_password = User.hash_pwd(pwd) password = property(get_pwd, set_pwd) @classmethod def hash_pwd(cls, pwd): salt = r'somerandomcharacters' return md5.new(pwd + salt).hexdigest() so calling user.password will return the non-hashed password. this works fine for new instances, but when i retrieve from the database e.g. user = session.query(User).get_by(id=1) accessing user.password results in: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in ? File "C:\home\jeffe\python\tg\claimsqa\claimsqa\model.py", line 255, in get_pwd return self._pwd AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute '_pwd' is SA not calling __init__ or am i doing something wrong? thanks, jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
