json.loads() returns a unicode string which *
db.auth_user.password.validate() doesn't like -- try converting your
password variable to a string first as follows:
*
*
password = str(db.auth_user.password.validate(str(password))[0])
Don't forget to str() the result of the
db.auth_user.password.validate()[0] too since it returns an instance
of gluon.validators.LazyCrypt and keep the passwords 4+ in length
.
