We have Cookie and cookielib. Neither are going away it looks like. Combining them doesn't work as Cookie has BaseCookie and SimpleCookie while cookielib has Cookie. Way too much confusion.
Since Cookie has to be renamed anyway thanks to its CapWords spelling, I am proposing:
Cookie -> cookie.server cookielib -> cookie.client
I'm not aware of these being used with anything but HTTP (including HTTPS), so why not add them into the http package?
Because I don't want http.cookie.client.
I think the class names are fair game as well,
Why do you say that, Fred? That is not something 2to3 can handle very well. It would require a rename within the module along with a deprecation of the old name. Are you on the web SIG? Granted I would rather have this solution. =) I will ask the web SIG.
so we could end up with a merged module as http.cookie. This would have basic parsing functions and then the current classes, appropriately renamed.
And no, I don't think every new package should have a client and server module. =)
Once you achieve your full zen, you'll realize that all client and server are the same, and all packages should have a net module. ;-)
=) I thought zen would mean everything could just be named bruce? -Brett
