Hi Malcom,

I was unaware of sys.stderr.write, very handy--thanks (obviously, I'm still working my way through python/django).

I'm indeed on the development server, and using sys.stderr.write, I can conclude that:

- the key is being imported from the settings file - self.passport contains the encrypted passport

The problem seems to lie in :

return(k.decString(self.passport))

as nothing is printed in the console with sys.stderr.write(k.decString(self.passport).

Also, I'm not sure what I would actually input to test if k.importKey(secret_key) is gathering info, so the problem may be there.

secret_key = settings.SECRET_KEY k = ezPyCrypto.key() k.importKey(secret_key)

sys.stderr.write(k)

This doesn't print anything to the console, but it also doesn't seem as if it should print anything. Ideas? Sorry to keep pestering, but there's a mental bridge I haven't quite crossed yet in terms of how this is all working together. Thanks again.

Update...

I think I've fixed the insert issue. The updated model is here:

http://dpaste.com/10264/

Now, I just can't get the passport back out of the database :-)

I put together a quick view/template, and the passport is being returned as an empty string, with no errors.

The relavent part of the the model is:

def get_passport(self): secret_key = settings.SECRET_KEY k = ezPyCrypto.key() k.importKey(secret_key)

return(k.decString(self.passport))

decryptedPP = property(get_passport)

My view is really short, so I'll just post it here:

def list(request):

registrations = registerDiver.objects.all()

return render_to_response('list.html', { 'registrations' :
registrations, },
context_instance=RequestContext(request))

and my template:

<ul> {% for diver in registrations %} <li>{{ diver.first_name }} | {{ diver.decryptedPP }}</li> {% endfor %} </ul>

Any ideas why decryptedPP is blank?

Put some diagnostic output into get_passport() to see if it (a) gets called and (b) extracts the information you think it should be.

You can print to sys.stderr, for example, and the result will show up on the console (if you are using the development server) or in Apache's error log (if you are using mod_python -- although remember to call sys.stderr.flush() in that case because mod_python buffers stderr) or somewhere if you are using another webserver. Typically, though, sys.stderr should go somewhere sensible.

Drop in a print statement to see if you call the method. Drop in another one to see if k.importKey() actually gathers any information. Does self.passport contain something? Does k.decString() do anything with that something or perhaps raise an exception? Not until you know that get_passport() is returning the right value will you be in a position to work out why the template isn't displaying that value.
