   No. Currently neither urllib, nor urllib2 nor httplib support cookies.
They do not prevent you to get/set cookie (module Cookie.py, you know), but
that's all.
   IWBN if you develop a generic approach to the problem and implement it
as a patch for httplib and/or urllib or orllib2 - and then apply the patch
to the SourceForge patch manager. If the patch will be accepted by managers
