Re: [Python-ideas] [Web-SIG] Merge Cookie and cookielib?

No it doesn't go against that idea as it is a single level.
Any stdlib reorg talk should happen on stdlib-sig. Please take it over there (and if you do read PEP 3108 and the archives as httplib has already been handled). -Brett

This should be on stdlib-sig. If you actually want to propose it, bring it up there. -Brett
