user.set_password('new password')

[Min Hong Tan]

Hi,

I 'm trying to change password in views.py in one of my  def.

having the below code.

newpassword ="testing123"

user = User.objects.get(username__exact = request.user)

user.set_password(newpassword)

user.save

it didn't prompt me any error.  but, why my password still remained unchanged?

Regards,

MH

Save is a method, so it needs parentheses: user.save()

user.save returns the function object, which is a valid statement, so Python wont raise an Exception.

And a method is a function only accessible through a class.
