I eventually figured it out myself. The cookie code needs to be part
of the HTTP header. See example below.
print "Cache-Control: max-age=0, must-revalidate, no-store"
print "Content-type: text/html"
c = Cookie.Cookie()
c['MyCookie'] = "Tryg"
print c
print
print """
<html><head><title>My Page</title>
<link rel=stylesheet href="/ss.css" type="text/css">"""
