Well... not design.  I guess it's a known problem, though I had 
forgotten about it for a while.  If you do something like:

class User(SQLObject):
     def _init(self, id, connection=None):
         id = int(id)
         return SQLObject._init(self, id, connection=connection)

I believe that should resolve it for you.  Ultimately the id type 
should become part of a column specifier, like other columns are 
specified, but there's some other issues involved with that that I 
haven't gotten around to.
