   Using module Cookie.py. It is not in the standard distribution - just search
it through python.org. It is very nice python-style module!

   There are many way to speed things up. You can rewrite critical parts in
C; or better yet, reorganize your site to serve static files and recreate
these files from cron every few minutes. For really dynamic sites to speed
things up you need to try PyApache or httpdapy - builtin apache modules.
You can try also PersistentCGI.
