[Tutor] cookie error messages

[Conrad Koziol]

This is the error message, I think it means that id cannot be found. I
looked throught the list and found that there were 2 cookies with the
name of id. I tried it with username, and some random letters and it
returned the same error. Also anyone now of a compact version of python
for windows. Like under 100 megs. I copied one that was a couple years
old and it turned out to be like 2.5 gigs uncompressed, though i think
one of the files was corrupted. I don't have admin to install it since
its going on the school network, and I'm the only one using it. :)

The following error occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of
function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.
