This has worked for me, though since I wanted session cookies for this
application I commented it out after testing:

    def Cookie(self):
        cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
        cookie["session"] = "%s:%d" % (self.session._id, id(self.session))
        cookie["session"]["path"] = "/"
        #cookie["session"]["expires"] = "31 Dec 2002" # Seems to make it
permanent
        return str(cookie)

 Steve
