ClientCookie 0.05b http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/ClientCookie Changes since 0.03b * Now works with Python 1.5.2 (including urllib2). * Fixed Windows issues with _HTTPDate and _TimeLocal; all tests now pass on both Unix and Windows. * Tested with Python versions 1.52, 2.0.0, 2.1.1 and 2.2.0. * Set line endings to Unix convention. ClientCookie is a Python module for handling cookies on the client side, useful for accessing web sites that require cookies to be set, and returned later. It is a port of Gisle Aas' Perl module HTTP::Cookies, from the libwww-perl library. Both RFC 2965 and Netscape cookies are supported. import ClientCookie import urllib2 request = urllib2.Request("http://www.acme.com/") # note we're using the urlopen from ClientCookie, not urllib2 result = ClientCookie.urlopen(request) # let's say this next request requires a cookie that was set in result request2 = urllib2.Request("http://www.acme.com/flying_machines.html") result2 = ClientCookie.urlopen(request2) Python 1.5.2 or above is required, and urllib2 is recommended but not required. Note that the version of urllib2 from Python 2.0 is too old: if you have Python 2.0, get the version from Python 2.1 (available from the source distribution or CVS from http://www.python.org/), or use the 1.5.2-compatible version included with the ClientCookie distribution.
