32 # Cookie.py is a Python module for the handling of HTTP
33 # cookies as a Python dictionary. See RFC 2109 for more
34 # information on cookies.
36 # The original idea to treat Cookies as a dictionary came from
37 # Dave Mitchell (davem@magnet.com) in 1995, when he released the
38 # first version of nscookie.py.

42 r"""
43 Here's a sample session to show how to use this module.
44 At the moment, this is the only documentation.
46 The Basics
47 ----------
49 Importing is easy..
51 >>> import Cookie
53 Most of the time you start by creating a cookie. Cookies come in
54 three flavors, each with slighly different encoding semanitcs, but
55 more on that later.
57 >>> C = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
58 >>> C = Cookie.SerialCookie()
59 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
61 [Note: Long-time users of Cookie.py will remember using
62 Cookie.Cookie() to create an Cookie object. Although deprecated, it
63 is still supported by the code. See the Backward Compatibility notes
64 for more information.]
66 Once you've created your Cookie, you can add values just as if it were
67 a dictionary.
69 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
70 >>> C["fig"] = "newton"
71 >>> C["sugar"] = "wafer"
72 >>> print C
73 Set-Cookie: fig=newton;
74 Set-Cookie: sugar=wafer;
76 Notice that the printable representation of a Cookie is the
77 appropriate format for a Set-Cookie: header. This is the
78 default behavior. You can change the header and printed
79 attributes by using the the .output() function
81 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
82 >>> C["rocky"] = "road"
83 >>> C["rocky"]["path"] = "/cookie"
84 >>> print C.output(header="Cookie:")
85 Cookie: rocky=road; Path=/cookie;
86 >>> print C.output(attrs=[], header="Cookie:")
87 Cookie: rocky=road;
89 The load() method of a Cookie extracts cookies from a string. In a
90 CGI script, you would use this method to extract the cookies from the
91 HTTP_COOKIE environment variable.
93 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
94 >>> C.load("chips=ahoy; vienna=finger")
95 >>> print C
96 Set-Cookie: chips=ahoy;
97 Set-Cookie: vienna=finger;
99 The load() method is darn-tootin smart about identifying cookies
100 within a string. Escaped quotation marks, nested semicolons, and other
101 such trickeries do not confuse it.
103 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
104 >>> C.load('keebler="E=everybody; L=\\"Loves\\"; fudge=\\012;";')
105 >>> print C
106 Set-Cookie: keebler="E=everybody; L=\"Loves\"; fudge=\012;";
108 Each element of the Cookie also supports all of the RFC 2109
109 Cookie attributes. Here's an example which sets the Path
110 attribute.
112 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
113 >>> C["oreo"] = "doublestuff"
114 >>> C["oreo"]["path"] = "/"
115 >>> print C
116 Set-Cookie: oreo=doublestuff; Path=/;
118 Each dictionary element has a 'value' attribute, which gives you
119 back the value associated with the key.
121 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
122 >>> C["twix"] = "none for you"
123 >>> C["twix"].value
124 'none for you'
127 A Bit More Advanced
128 -------------------
130 As mentioned before, there are three different flavors of Cookie
131 objects, each with different encoding/decoding semantics. This
132 section briefly discusses the differences.
134 SimpleCookie
136 The SimpleCookie expects that all values should be standard strings.
137 Just to be sure, SimpleCookie invokes the str() builtin to convert
138 the value to a string, when the values are set dictionary-style.
140 >>> C = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
141 >>> C["number"] = 7
142 >>> C["string"] = "seven"
143 >>> C["number"].value
145 >>> C["string"].value
146 'seven'
147 >>> print C
148 Set-Cookie: number=7;
149 Set-Cookie: string=seven;
152 SerialCookie
154 The SerialCookie expects that all values should be serialized using
155 cPickle (or pickle, if cPickle isn't available). As a result of
156 serializing, SerialCookie can save almost any Python object to a
157 value, and recover the exact same object when the cookie has been
158 returned. (SerialCookie can yield some strange-looking cookie
159 values, however.)
161 >>> C = Cookie.SerialCookie()
162 >>> C["number"] = 7
163 >>> C["string"] = "seven"
164 >>> C["number"].value
166 >>> C["string"].value
167 'seven'
168 >>> print C
169 Set-Cookie: number="I7\012.";
170 Set-Cookie: string="S'seven'\012p1\012.";
172 Be warned, however, if SerialCookie cannot de-serialize a value (because
173 it isn't a valid pickle'd object), IT WILL RAISE AN EXCEPTION.
176 SmartCookie
178 The SmartCookie combines aspects of each of the other two flavors.
179 When setting a value in a dictionary-fashion, the SmartCookie will
180 serialize (ala cPickle) the value *if and only if* it isn't a
181 Python string. String objects are *not* serialized. Similarly,
182 when the load() method parses out values, it attempts to de-serialize
183 the value. If it fails, then it fallsback to treating the value
184 as a string.
186 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
187 >>> C["number"] = 7
188 >>> C["string"] = "seven"
189 >>> C["number"].value
191 >>> C["string"].value
192 'seven'
193 >>> print C
194 Set-Cookie: number="I7\012.";
195 Set-Cookie: string=seven;
198 Backwards Compatibility
199 -----------------------
201 In order to keep compatibilty with earlier versions of Cookie.py,
202 it is still possible to use Cookie.Cookie() to create a Cookie. In
203 fact, this simply returns a SmartCookie.
205 >>> C = Cookie.Cookie()
206 >>> print C.__class__.__name__
207 SmartCookie
210 Finis.
