import Cookie
import os, time

cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
cookie["user"] = "Mimi"
cookie["timestamp"] = time.time()

print cookie

# simulate CGI roundtrip
os.environ["HTTP_COOKIE"] = str(cookie)

print

cookie = Cookie.SmartCookie()
cookie.load(os.environ["HTTP_COOKIE"])

for key, item in cookie.items():
 # dictionary items are "Morsel" instances
 # use value attribute to get actual value
 print key, repr(item.value)


Set-Cookie: timestamp=736513200;
Set-Cookie: user=Mimi;
