The following example demonstrates how to use the `Cookie' module.

     >>> import Cookie
     >>> C = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
     >>> C = Cookie.SerialCookie()
     >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
     >>> C = Cookie.Cookie() # backwards-compatible alias for SmartCookie
     >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
     >>> C["fig"] = "newton"
     >>> C["sugar"] = "wafer"
     >>> print C # generate HTTP headers
     Set-Cookie: sugar=wafer;
     Set-Cookie: fig=newton;
     >>> print C.output() # same thing
     Set-Cookie: sugar=wafer;
     Set-Cookie: fig=newton;
     >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
     >>> C["rocky"] = "road"
     >>> C["rocky"]["path"] = "/cookie"
     >>> print C.output(header="Cookie:")
     Cookie: rocky=road; Path=/cookie;
     >>> print C.output(attrs=[], header="Cookie:")
     Cookie: rocky=road;
     >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
     >>> C.load("chips=ahoy; vienna=finger") # load from a string (HTTP header)
     >>> print C
     Set-Cookie: vienna=finger;
     Set-Cookie: chips=ahoy;
     >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
     >>> C.load('keebler="E=everybody; L=\\"Loves\\"; fudge=\\012;";')
     >>> print C
     Set-Cookie: keebler="E=everybody; L=\"Loves\"; fudge=\012;";
     >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
     >>> C["oreo"] = "doublestuff"
     >>> C["oreo"]["path"] = "/"
     >>> print C
     Set-Cookie: oreo=doublestuff; Path=/;
     >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
     >>> C["twix"] = "none for you"
     >>> C["twix"].value
     'none for you'
     >>> C = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
     >>> C["number"] = 7 # equivalent to C["number"] = str(7)
     >>> C["string"] = "seven"
     >>> C["number"].value
     '7'
     >>> C["string"].value
     'seven'
     >>> print C
     Set-Cookie: number=7;
     Set-Cookie: string=seven;
     >>> C = Cookie.SerialCookie()
     >>> C["number"] = 7
     >>> C["string"] = "seven"
     >>> C["number"].value
     7
     >>> C["string"].value
     'seven'
     >>> print C
     Set-Cookie: number="I7\012.";
     Set-Cookie: string="S'seven'\012p1\012.";
     >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
     >>> C["number"] = 7
     >>> C["string"] = "seven"
     >>> C["number"].value
     7
     >>> C["string"].value
     'seven'
     >>> print C
     Set-Cookie: number="I7\012.";
     Set-Cookie: string=seven;
