use urllib2 and cookielib. here's an outline:
import urllib2, cookielib
# set things up
jar = cookielib.CookieJar()
handler = urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(jar)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(handler)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
data = urllib2.urlopen(someurl).read()
# ...
data = urllib2.urlopen(someotherurl).read()
# ...
# dump cookie jar contents (for debugging)
for cookie in jar:
print cookie
</F>
