Ok this seems to work: import Cookie import time c = Cookie.SimpleCookie() c['data'] = "unamepwordwhatever" c['data']['expires'] = 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 print c Gives an output of: "Set-Cookie: data=unamepwordwhatever; expires=Sat, 24-May-2008 12:11:36 GMT" Bizarre that this information was so hard to find! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
