self.client.cookie (renamed to cookies in [4464]) is a SimpleCookie object; this object wraps the ability to easily create HTTP headers out of a cookie. You need to get the value attribute of the cookie to return just the value of the session cookie, rather than the full header information. That value, which is the session id stored as a cookie, is passed to instantiate the SessionWrapper. SessionWrapper is essentially a dictionary-like wrapper around Session.objects.get(). The session id instantiates the session wrapper, loading and decoding the session information from the database, and you query the wrapper for individual session data. Does this help explain the process?
