Snappy [Bot]

I have a little signup page that I'm trying to get working. Basically you give your username, password, and email, and then if the username that you entered doesn't already exist then it redirects you to a welcome page that says, "welcome (username here)!". If the user DOES exist, then it re-renders the signup page. The problem is, even if the user doesn't exist, it keeps re-rendering the signup page. I get no errors. The function "getByName" that checks if the user exists keeps returning true. Can anybody see the issue?here's the code that calls the "getByName" function. \[code\] if(username and password and verify and email): if UserInfo.getByName(username) == True: self.renderSignup() else: UserInfo.register(username, password, email) cookieVal = str(encrypt.makeCookieHash(username)) self.response.headers.add_header("Set-Cookie", "username=%s; Path=/" % (cookieVal)) self.redirect("/welcome") else: self.renderSignup(username, email, usernameError, passwordError, verifyError, emailError)\[/code\]Here's the "UserInfo" data model that contains the "getByName" function, along with others.\[code\]class UserInfo(db.Model): passwordHash = db.StringProperty(required = True) email = db.StringProperty(required = True) username = db.StringProperty(required = True)@classmethod def register(cls, name, password, email): encrypt = Encrypt() pwHash = encrypt.hashUserInfo(name, password) UserInfo(passwordHash = pwHash, email = email, username = name).put()@classmethoddef getByName(cls,name): usersWithName = UserInfo.gql("where username = :1", name) if usersWithName != None: return True return False\[/code\]
