Hi,

Everything seems to be working for me:

from couchdb.mapping import Document, TextField

class User(Document):
    name = TextField()

    def is_active(self):
        return True

user = User(name = "Foo")
assert user.is_active() is True

even if you have mistyped Document class:

from couchdb.mapping import TextField
from couchdb.client import Document

class User(Document):
    name = TextField()

    def is_active(self):
        return True

user = User(name = "Foo")
assert user.is_active() is True

All should works well. Could you provide standalone example that could
reproduce problem?

This is not documented. And if I add this I get the Error Message

AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'store'

This is the same as
from couchdb import Document

Just quite common error(: Anyway, what's about document method call problem?

Here is the complete program

import couchdb
from couchdb.mapping import *

from uuid import uuid4

class User(Document):
    name = TextField()
    active = BooleanField(default=True)
    password = TextField()
    type = TextField(default="User")

    def is_active(self):
        return self.active

    def is_anonymous(self):
        return False

    def is_authenticated(self):
        return self.is_authenticated

couch = couchdb.Server()

try:
    db = couch.delete("mydb")
    db = couch.create("mydb")
except:
    db = couch.create("mydb")

u=User(name = u"Notch", password = u"ü")
u.id = u"Notch"
u.store(db)
u=User(name = u"Steve", password = u"b")
u.id = u"Steve"
u.store(db)
u=User(name = u"Creeper", active = False, password = u"c")
u.id = u"Creeper"
u.store(db)

user = User.load(db, "Notch")
print user.is_authenticated()

Something went wrong with my last post. Here again

Here is the complete program

import couchdb
from couchdb.mapping import *

from uuid import uuid4

class User(Document):
    name = TextField()
    active = BooleanField(default=True)
    password = TextField()
    type = TextField(default="User")

    def is_active(self):
        return self.active

    def is_anonymous(self):
        return False

    def is_authenticated(self):
        return self.is_authenticated

couch = couchdb.Server()

try:
    db = couch.delete("mydb")
    db = couch.create("mydb")
except:
    db = couch.create("mydb")

u=User(name = u"Notch", password = u"ü")
u.id = u"Notch"
u.store(db)
u=User(name = u"Steve", password = u"b")
u.id = u"Steve"
u.store(db)
u=User(name = u"Creeper", active = False, password = u"c")
u.id = u"Creeper"
u.store(db)

user = User.load(db, "Notch")
print user.is_authenticated()

If I add "from couchdb import Document" it does not work

Looks like there is a different between

*from couchdb.mapping import Document*

and
*from couchdb import Document*

Only the Document Class from mapping supports store and load methods

Take a look at User.is_authenticated method - it just returns itself(;
Other methods works as expected.

Sorry, copy & paste failure. Should just return True.

I fixed the problem now. There where some other bugs. But I found that
couchdb.mapping Document is not the same as couchdb Document.

Thanks
Markus

Yes, couchdb.Document and couchdb.mapping.Document are different.
First one if dict based class that represents raw CouchDB document as
it is, while second one tries to objectify it and give the warranty
that document would always have some fields with certain type.
