cookieID = cookie.get('ID').value

is not returning what you said it will return

and if cookie.get('ID') doenst exist it returns the error 
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'value'

These are 2 problem.

value aint being returned thw ehole Set-Cookie: ID=some_number is being 
returned instead as tou cna see at http://superhost.gr/

and the second problem is

that if the cookie dosnt exist i get the error of: AttributeError: 
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'value'

whne this line is tryign to be executed:
cookieID = cookie.get('ID').value

How can i deal with thse 2 problems?
