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 slightly different encoding semantics, 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 >>> C.output()
73 'Set-Cookie: fig=newton\r\nSet-Cookie: sugar=wafer'
75 Notice that the printable representation of a Cookie is the
76 appropriate format for a Set-Cookie: header. This is the
77 default behavior. You can change the header and printed
78 attributes by using the .output() function
80 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
81 >>> C["rocky"] = "road"
82 >>> C["rocky"]["path"] = "/cookie"
83 >>> print C.output(header="Cookie:")
84 Cookie: rocky=road; Path=/cookie
85 >>> print C.output(attrs=[], header="Cookie:")
86 Cookie: rocky=road
88 The load() method of a Cookie extracts cookies from a string. In a
89 CGI script, you would use this method to extract the cookies from the
90 HTTP_COOKIE environment variable.
92 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
93 >>> C.load("chips=ahoy; vienna=finger")
94 >>> C.output()
95 'Set-Cookie: chips=ahoy\r\nSet-Cookie: vienna=finger'
97 The load() method is darn-tootin smart about identifying cookies
98 within a string. Escaped quotation marks, nested semicolons, and other
99 such trickeries do not confuse it.
101 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
102 >>> C.load('keebler="E=everybody; L=\\"Loves\\"; fudge=\\012;";')
103 >>> print C
104 Set-Cookie: keebler="E=everybody; L=\"Loves\"; fudge=\012;"
106 Each element of the Cookie also supports all of the RFC 2109
107 Cookie attributes. Here's an example which sets the Path
108 attribute.
110 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
111 >>> C["oreo"] = "doublestuff"
112 >>> C["oreo"]["path"] = "/"
113 >>> print C
114 Set-Cookie: oreo=doublestuff; Path=/
116 Each dictionary element has a 'value' attribute, which gives you
117 back the value associated with the key.
119 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
120 >>> C["twix"] = "none for you"
121 >>> C["twix"].value
122 'none for you'
125 A Bit More Advanced
126 -------------------
128 As mentioned before, there are three different flavors of Cookie
129 objects, each with different encoding/decoding semantics. This
130 section briefly discusses the differences.
132 SimpleCookie
134 The SimpleCookie expects that all values should be standard strings.
135 Just to be sure, SimpleCookie invokes the str() builtin to convert
136 the value to a string, when the values are set dictionary-style.
138 >>> C = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
139 >>> C["number"] = 7
140 >>> C["string"] = "seven"
141 >>> C["number"].value
143 >>> C["string"].value
144 'seven'
145 >>> C.output()
146 'Set-Cookie: number=7\r\nSet-Cookie: string=seven'
149 SerialCookie
151 The SerialCookie expects that all values should be serialized using
152 cPickle (or pickle, if cPickle isn't available). As a result of
153 serializing, SerialCookie can save almost any Python object to a
154 value, and recover the exact same object when the cookie has been
155 returned. (SerialCookie can yield some strange-looking cookie
156 values, however.)
158 >>> C = Cookie.SerialCookie()
159 >>> C["number"] = 7
160 >>> C["string"] = "seven"
161 >>> C["number"].value
163 >>> C["string"].value
164 'seven'
165 >>> C.output()
166 'Set-Cookie: number="I7\\012."\r\nSet-Cookie: string="S\'seven\'\\012p1\\012."'
168 Be warned, however, if SerialCookie cannot de-serialize a value (because
169 it isn't a valid pickle'd object), IT WILL RAISE AN EXCEPTION.
172 SmartCookie
174 The SmartCookie combines aspects of each of the other two flavors.
175 When setting a value in a dictionary-fashion, the SmartCookie will
176 serialize (ala cPickle) the value *if and only if* it isn't a
177 Python string. String objects are *not* serialized. Similarly,
178 when the load() method parses out values, it attempts to de-serialize
179 the value. If it fails, then it fallsback to treating the value
180 as a string.
182 >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
183 >>> C["number"] = 7
184 >>> C["string"] = "seven"
185 >>> C["number"].value
187 >>> C["string"].value
188 'seven'
189 >>> C.output()
190 'Set-Cookie: number="I7\\012."\r\nSet-Cookie: string=seven'
193 Backwards Compatibility
194 -----------------------
196 In order to keep compatibilty with earlier versions of Cookie.py,
197 it is still possible to use Cookie.Cookie() to create a Cookie. In
198 fact, this simply returns a SmartCookie.
200 >>> C = Cookie.Cookie()
201 >>> print C.__class__.__name__
202 SmartCookie
205 Finis.
