SQLAlchemy hybrid_property error when setting

I'm trying to use a hybrid_property decorator to define a getter/setter. Here's the code.

class Users(object):
def __init__(self, username, uid=None, password=None, group_uid=None):
    self.uid = uid
    self.username = username
    self.password = password
    self.group_uid = group_uid

def __repr__(self):

    return "User(%(username)s)" % self.__dict__

@hybrid_property
def password(self):

    return self._password

@password.setter
def set_password(self, password):       

    self._password = password

When looking at a user object, the getter works properly, ie user.password returns a string, but calling the setter yields the following

user.test('test')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "--removed--", line 35, in exec_expr
    exec code in self.namespace, self.globs
  File "<web>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Any help pointing out what I'm missing would be greatly appreciated.

PS. Using SQLAlchemy version 0.9.1

Solution

  • The original model was using the Classic Mapping style. Refactoring the model to use the Declarative Mapping style fixed the problem. I guess hybrid properties only work when the class is using the Declarative base.
