Getting and Setting Cookies

[Vlad Dogaru]

Hello,

I am trying to use cookies and Python to create a simple login example.
But I am very disoriented at the existence of two cookie libraries,
namely Cookie and cookielib. I have seen examples of setting cookies
(although I am still not sure about timestamps and cookie lifespan),
but no reference to getting the currently set cookies. For instance, I
want to see if there is any 'user' value, to check whether the user has
logged in. Please, enlighten me.

Thanks in advance,
Vlad
