Sorry for the slow replies. I've been in & out with a sick child. I'm used to my javascript cookies. They are automatically written to a cookie.txt file in a .mozilla dir under my user. When I say to 'write the cookie file' this is what I was referring to. I was expecting my python cookie to automatically get written to the same file. I have't seen this happen yet. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
