[Python-ideas] Cookies insanity

[Ram Rachum]

Hello folks,

About a week ago I was trying to do a tiny web project in Python.

I wanted to send a request to some website, get a cookie, and then send that
cookie on the next request.

I could not believe how convoluted that task has turned out to be.

Check out my StackOverflow question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6878418/putting-a-cookie-in-a-cookiejar

Unless I'm missing something, this looks insane to me. Why is so much code
needed to do such a simple task? Why can't this be done with 3-4 lines of
Python?


Ram.
