Can you explain why you think it should work?
What do yopu think it is doing?
The code below is very obviously completely different to 
the code above, so what makes you think it should work?

> #!/usr/bin/python
> 
> import Cookie
> print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"
> print "Bienvenido",C['adminuser'].value,'!'

What is C? Where is it defined?

Cookies exist as small files on your PC. A Python program 
needs to be given a clue as to which cookie you are interested 
in so that it can access that file. That's what the Cookie module 
helps you to do, but it needs to be more than simply imported.
That just makes the tools available, it doesn't actually turn 
them on.
