There shouldn't be any problem with that.  You can pickle the
CookieJar itself, or the cookies inside it ([c for c in cookiejar] --
and use .set_cookie() to get them back into a new CookieJar).

May I suggest instead using cookielib, from Python CVS?  (note that
POSTs with urllib2 are broken in 2.4a2, so don't use that)

cookielib is a new module in 2.4, and is a cleaned-up version of the
cookie-handling parts of ClientCookie.
