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

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'value'


And if you go to my webpage http://superhost.gr at the top corner you 
see that allthough i use this code to get the value of the retrieved 
cookie or set the value if ti do

# initialize cookie and retrieve cookie from clients broswer
cookie = cookies.SimpleCookie( os.environ.get('HTTP_COOKIE') )
cookie.load( cookie )
cookieID = cookie.get('ID').value

# if browser cookie does not exist, set it
if not cookieID:
	cookie['ID'] = random.randrange(0, 10000)
	cookie['ID']['path'] = '/'
	cookie['ID']['expires'] = 60*60*24*365		#this cookie will expire in a month
	print( cookie )
	cookieID = cookie['ID'].value

print( '''Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n''' )

print( cookieID )
sys.exit(0)

The output is: Set-Cookie: ID=1376

But how is this possible since we applied the .value attribute in the 
cookie?
