18.23.3 Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the `Cookie` module.

    >>> import Cookie
    >>> C = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
    >>> C = Cookie.SerialCookie()
    >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
    >>> C["fig"] = "newton"
    >>> C["sugar"] = "wafer"
    >>> print C # generate HTTP headers
    Set-Cookie: sugar=wafer
    Set-Cookie: fig=newton
    >>> print C.output() # same thing
    Set-Cookie: sugar=wafer
    Set-Cookie: fig=newton
    >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
    >>> C["rocky"] = "road"
    >>> C["rocky"]["path"] = "/cookie"
    >>> print C.output(header="Cookie:")
    Cookie: rocky=road; Path=/cookie
    >>> print C.output(attrs=[], header="Cookie:")
    Cookie: rocky=road
    >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
    >>> C.load("chips=ahoy; vienna=finger") # load from a string (HTTP header)
    >>> print C
    Set-Cookie: vienna=finger
    Set-Cookie: chips=ahoy
    >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
    >>> C.load('keebler="E=everybody; L=\\"Loves\\"; fudge=\\012;";')
    >>> print C
    Set-Cookie: keebler="E=everybody; L=\"Loves\"; fudge=\012;"
    >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
    >>> C["oreo"] = "doublestuff"
    >>> C["oreo"]["path"] = "/"
    >>> print C
    Set-Cookie: oreo=doublestuff; Path=/
    >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
    >>> C["twix"] = "none for you"
    >>> C["twix"].value
    'none for you'
    >>> C = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
    >>> C["number"] = 7 # equivalent to C["number"] = str(7)
    >>> C["string"] = "seven"
    >>> C["number"].value
    '7'
    >>> C["string"].value
    'seven'
    >>> print C
    Set-Cookie: number=7
    Set-Cookie: string=seven
    >>> C = Cookie.SerialCookie()
    >>> C["number"] = 7
    >>> C["string"] = "seven"
    >>> C["number"].value
    7
    >>> C["string"].value
    'seven'
    >>> print C
    Set-Cookie: number="I7\012."
    Set-Cookie: string="S'seven'\012p1\012."
    >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
    >>> C["number"] = 7
    >>> C["string"] = "seven"
    >>> C["number"].value
    7
    >>> C["string"].value
    'seven'
    >>> print C
    Set-Cookie: number="I7\012."
    Set-Cookie: string=seven
