Steven, First of all thank you for your response. I cant beleive i neglected to import the time module!
The only reason that i asked you guys to follow the link was for you to see the actualt coding and error report as python produces it by itself with all the relative characteristics. Of course it was not due to boredom and there was no need to be aggresive with me as this wasn't the case. I thouigh that by giving the URL was easier for you guys. Now the script runs but for some reason only the code block within the 'else' tun each time: This: else: print "ΑΠΟ ΔΩ ΚΑΙ ΣΤΟ ΕΞΗΣ ΔΕΝ ΣΕ ΕΙΔΑ, ΔΕΝ ΣΕ ΞΕΡΩ, ΔΕΝ ΣΕ ΑΚΟΥΣΑ! ΘΑ ΕΙΣΑΙ ΠΛΕΟΝ Ο ΑΟΡΑΤΟΣ ΕΠΙΣΚΕΠΤΗΣ!!" cookie['visitor'] = ( 'nikos', time() + 60*60*24*365 ) #this cookie will expire in an year The cookie is only get set and never expires i changed the if with this if os.environ.get('HTTP_COOKIE') and cookie.has_key('visitor') == 'nikos': #if visitor cookie exist but still no luck. As for the encoding Notepad++, which is what i use for an editor say its UTF-8 without BOM. Isn't this what i'm supposed to use? My Python scripts only containes english and greek letters, so i though usign UTF-8 is the way to go. No?! Please if you explain to me in greater detail! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
