Loading a Cookie from a Dictonary

[Michael Sampson]

I'm using the Cookie module.
Say I have something that looks like this

import Cookie
c = Cookie.Cookie()
c.load(aDictonary)

What would the format of aDictornary be, I've looked around the net and I
can only find examples on how to format the input to load if it is a string.
The best info on this I could find is

Loading cookies from a dictionary 'd'
is equivalent to calling:
map(Cookie.__setitem__, d.keys(), d.values())


I just need a few examples with multiple cookies and I should be able to
figure it out from there.
Thanks,
-Michael

What are you actually trying to accomplish?

Server? Client?

Assume I have a server trying to create a cookie to send to the browser.
Instead of making the cookies one at a time like

c = Cookie.Cookie()

c['firstname'] = 'joe'

c['lastname'] = 'samson'

c['lastname'][max-age] = 3600

I want to be able to store the info for the cookies in one dictonary and
pass that to the constructor for Cookie(), or load it into the cookie using
c.load().

You probably want Cookie.SimpleCookie instead.

c['firstname'] = 'joe'

c['lastname'] = 'samson'

c['lastname'][max-age] = 3600

c.load().

There's no method to call to do that, AFAIK. Just write a function
that does exactly what you write above (only getting the keys and
values from the dict, of course: you want a "name" and "value" key as
well as "max-age", etc., I guess, with values in this case "lastname"
and "samson").
