Yes, I can do that, thanks -- but I still think this behavior is a problem.
Let's say I create a datastore model: class UserInfo(db.Model): owner = db.UserProperty() Info = db.StringProperty() Now let's say I create a UserInfo entity with owner set as user1 and save it to the datastore. I can't look up this saved entity unless I match the case of the original email address (user2 will not match it). That's the problem. I discovered this problem because when I assign owners in parts of my application, sometimes Google capitalizes the email addresses, and other times, it does not. I can resort to using strings, but that defeats the purpose of having a special 'userProperty' that abstracts away this stuff. Thanks for your help, everyone. - s On Aug 28, 4:30 pm, Davide Rognoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > str(user1).lower() == str(user2).lower() > > On Aug 28, 6:35 pm, Savraj Singh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi everyone, quick question. > > > class Tests(webapp.RequestHandler): > > def get(self): > > user1 = users.User(email="[EMAIL PROTECTED]") > > user2 = users.User(email="[EMAIL PROTECTED]") > > > if user1 == user2: > > self.response.out.write("users are the same") > > else: > > self.response.out.write("users are different") > > > The result is that "users are different" -- I'm surprised by that. > > Shouldn't they be the same?
