It's no difference if you bind the string to a name or assign it directly,
it's the contents of the string:

>>> import Cookie
>>> c = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
>>> c["test"] = "spaceless"
>>> print c
Set-Cookie: test=spaceless;
>>> c["test"] = "not spaceless"
>>> print c
Set-Cookie: test="not spaceless";
