You need to define the set_password method, which takes a user and a password as the parameters. Then in the function pass the password to the generate_password_hash() method and assign the result to user.password. Finally, return the user:

from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash
from flask.ext.bcrypt import check_password_hash

def set_password(user, password):
  user.password = generate_password_hash(password)
  return user
