I got the insert to work with this, I guess unicode is needed. db.auth_user.bulk_insert([{'first_name' : myname, 'email' : myemail, 'password' : db.auth_user.password.validate(mypassword.encode('utf8'))[0] }]) But now I am having issues with validating the logins.. I tried these statements.... password matching fails. record = db(db.auth_user.email == myemail ).select() if len(record): logger.debug("user with email - %s found" % myemail) else: logger.debug("user with email - %s not found" % myemail) record = db(db.auth_user.password == db.auth_user.password.validate(mypassword.encode('utf8'))).select() if len(record): logger.debug("user with email - %s has valid password" % myemail) else: logger.debug("user with email - %s does not have a valid password" % myemail) And tried this combined one also. record = db(db.auth_user.email == myemail and db.auth_user.password == db.auth_user.password.validate(mypassword.encode('utf8'))).select() -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
