Thanks! It works now. For others reading this thread, the code now
reads:
class Person(db.model):
name = db.ByteString()
description = db.BlobProperty()
class PersonHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
pers = Person()
pers.name = encrypt_data(self.request.get('name'))
pers.description = encrypt_data(self.request.get('description'))
pers.put()
def encrypt_data(plaintext):
obj=ARC4.new(RSAPrivateKey())
return obj.encrypt(plaintext)
def decrypt_data(ciphertext):
obj=ARC4.new(RSAPrivateKey())
return obj.decrypt(ciphertext)
