I'm developing a web application that needs a semi-persistent way to store information.
I've looked at some options such as writing entries to a database table or creating small textfiles, but I'm not thrilled with anything I've come up with so far. Then a coworker suggested that I could just insert a cookie into the current session, which would store whatever information I wanted. This seems like a really good solution. That's what cookies are *for*, right? But I've never worked with cookies before. Is there a Python package for handling cookies? And are there any back-end requirements? I assume you would have to be running a webserver that supports sessions. Do you also have to be running some sort of web container or servlet engine? Thanks for any suggestions. -- John Gordon A is for Amy, who fell down the stairs [EMAIL PROTECTED] B is for Basil, assaulted by bears -- Edward Gorey, "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
