Watch:

 >>> cookie1 = cookies.SimpleCookie('ID=42')
 >>> cookie1.load(cookie1)
 >>> print(cookie1)
Set-Cookie: ID="Set-Cookie: ID=42"
 >>> cookie1.get('ID').value
'Set-Cookie: ID=42'

And now watch this:

 >>> cookie2 = cookies.SimpleCookie('ID=42')
 >>> print(cookie2)
Set-Cookie: ID=42
 >>> cookie2.get('ID').value
'42'

Explanation:

http://docs.python.org/3/library/http.cookies.html#http.cookies.BaseCookie.load

 >>> c = cookies.SimpleCookie('ID=42')
 >>> isinstance(c, dict)
True
 >>> c.items()
dict_items([('ID', <Morsel: ID='42'>)])
