>From the cookielib docs: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-cookielib.html | The cookielib module defines classes for automatic handling of HTTP | cookies. It is useful for accessing web sites that require small | pieces of data - cookies - to be set on the client machine by an HTTP | response from a web server, and then returned to the server in later | HTTP requests. (note the *accessing* there) [...] | Module Cookie: HTTP cookie classes, principally useful for server-side | code. The cookielib and Cookie modules do not depend on each | other. Module cookielib is for web client code (writing code that works like a browser). Module Cookie is for server-side code (writing code to make a web site work). You don't make it entirely clear which you're doing, but it sounds like the latter. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
