Hi everyone,
I figured out what I was doing wrong. From what I can see you need to
"fully create" the response cookie whenever you want to overwrite the
values you read from request cookie.
So I modified my code as follows and it worked:
if not request.cookies.has_key('elocookie'):
mu = MU
phi = PHI
sigma = SIGMA
else:
value = request.cookies['elocookie'].value
logger.debug('read ELO cookie %s'%str(value))
mu,phi,sigma = [float(v) for v in
value.replace('(','').replace(')','').split(',')]
logger.debug("retrieved elo %s %s %s"%(mu,phi,sigma))
... #calculate mu,phi,sigma
response.cookies['elocookie'] = (mu,phi,sigma)
response.cookies['elocookie']['expires'] = 72 * 3600
response.cookies['elocookie']['path'] = '/'
logger.debug("new cookie elo %s %s %s"%(mu,phi,sigma))
Thanks, Jon.
