My reason for not doing this from the beginning is that if I have the
following code:
user= TG_User.get(1)
user.password= "foobar"
if "foobar"==user.password:
# do something
else:
# do something else
Now I'll admit this is a pretty synthetic argument. But it's a
property not a function. If you put a value into a property, it is
reasonable to expect to be able to get the EXACT same value back out
of the property. Since the encryption algorithms are one way, there's
no way to get the correct value back out.
Now if you want to have a write-only property called
auto_encrypt_password, that's fine with me. Of course, I don't make
the decisions...
