This is about issue
http://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/detail?id=1208
I solved it with this code on gluon/tools.py
if global_settings.web2py_runtime_gae:
user = Row(self.db.auth_user._filter_fields(user, id=True))
delattr(user,'password')
else:
user = Row(user)
for key,value in user.items():
if callable(value) or key=='password':
delattr(user,key)
This has a practical effect that virtual fields will not be saved on
auth.user on GAE.
There is a bigger issue.
If here are no virtual fields:
user = Row(self.db.auth_user._filter_fields(user, id=True))
delattr(user,'password')
and
user = Row(user)
for key,value in user.items():
if callable(value) or key=='password':
delattr(user,key)
produce identical user objects. Same type. Same class. Same keys and
values. Why does the former work on GAE and the latter produces a cPickle
error when trying to pickle a session (session.auth.user = user)?
Any help will be appreciated.
