[SQLObject] .set() fromPython toPython

[Oleg B. <ph...@ph...>]

Hello!

   ._SO_setValue() converts the passed value fromPython to dbValue, and
then dbValue toPython. This allows me to make things like that:

person.birthTime = MyDateTime(1967, 12, 21)
   (where .birthTime is a db column with a getter, a setter, a
validator that converts MyDateTime from/to python to/from string and
store that string in the db)

person.birthTime = "19671221"
   (now ._SO_setValue() will call fromPython which converts the string
to the same string, and toPython which converts the string to MyDateTime
instance)

   All of this is pretty good, convenient and useful. Unfortunately,
.set() doesn't convert values back toPython.

person.set(birthTime = "19671221")
   (Ouch! now .birthTime contains the string instead of MyDateTime
instance)

   I think .set() has to convert values back toPython. I'd like to fix
it, if noone obects.

Oleg.
