I'm working on an application that lets users interact with their account by sending emails to a specific address. The app is on GAE and I'm writing it in python. Here's my question:
When I receive an email from a user the sender field is text. I want to run a datastore query and match the userID to the sender's email address, but for some reason I can't match the string (sender) to the UserID in the datastore. Here's my code.
class MailHandler (InboundMailHandler):
def receive(self, message):
sender = message.sender
user_account = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Task WHERE user = :1", sender).fetch(5)
This is returning None for the user account, despite the fact that the sender email address matches the user in the Task table. Any help would be appreciated.
