Robin,

While I haven't had time to look at it at all, I saw recently on
comp.lang.python.announce a package called ClientCookie.  The
Cookie.py that comes with Python is really for managing cookies on the
server side, which doesn't help you much (although it makes my life a
lot easier :).

ClientCookie looks like it'll probably make possible interacting with
web pages that depend on cookies, via scripts on the client side.
Check out the news group or the python-announce-list archives.
