Password column about sqlalchemy-utils HOT 2 CLOSED

Good job! I have a small suggestion:

To keep things consistent with SQLAlchemy API, let's not create custom column types, rather let's create custom datatypes. The passlib configuration in this case can be passed directly to the underlying datatype instance:

class User(Base):
    password = sa.Column(PasswordType(context={}))

I really like your latter API suggestion for this:

>>> u = User()
>>> u.password = 'b'
>>> u.password
'$5$rounds=80000$H.............'

>>> u.password == 'b'
True

We could use custom type comparator for this kind of magic.
