Don't blame the tutorials for your failure to read them carefully. The
tutorial you mentioned
(http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/Cookie/index.html) says the
following right at the beginning: "The Cookie module defines classes for
parsing and creating HTTP cookie *headers*." [Emphasis mine.]

Further down it says: "The output is a valid Set-Cookie *header* ready
to be passed to the client as part of the HTTP response." [Emphasis
mine.] You even copy-and-pasted a snippet containing that very sentence
into an earlier post on this thread, so how you can now claim that the
tutorial didn't mention this is quite beyond me.
