The cookielib library in Python (http.cookiejar in python3) provides client-side support for storing and managing cookies.
The main function of this module is to provide objects that can store cookies. Use this module to capture cookies and resend them on subsequent connection requests. It can also be used to process files containing cookie data.
This module mainly provides these objects, CookieJar, FileCookieJar, MozillaCookieJar, LWPCookieJar.
1. CookieJar
CookieJar objects are stored in memory.
>>> import urllib2
>>> import cookielib
>>> cookie=cookielib.CookieJar()
>>> handler=urllib2.HTTPCookiePRocessor(cookie)
> ;>> opener=urllib2.build_opener(handler)
>>> opener.open('http://www.google.com.hk')
The cookie for accessing google has been captured, Let’s see what it looks like:
>>> print cookie
It seems to be a collection of Cookie instances , Cookie instances have attributes such as name, value, path, expires:
>>> for ck in cookie:
... Print ck.name,':',ck.value
...

2. Capture cookie to file
FileCookieJar(filename )
Create a FileCookieJar instance, retrieve cookie information and store the information into a file, filename is the file name.
MozillaCookieJar(filename)
Creates a FileCookieJar instance compatible with the Mozilla cookies.txt file.
LWPCookieJar(filename)
Creates a FileCookieJar instance compatible with the libwww-perl Set-Cookie3 file. I code: m 2 Import Urllib2
3 Import Cookielib4 DEF HANDLECOOKIE ():
5 6 #handle cook file
7 filename = 'filecookiejar.txt'
8 URL =' http:/ /www.google .com.hk'
9 FileCookieJar=cookielib.LWPCookieJar(filename)
10 FileCookeJar.save()
11 opener =urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(FileCookieJar))
12 opener.open(url)
13 FileCookieJar.save ()
14 print open(filename).read()
15
16 #read cookie from file
17 readfilename = "readFileCookieJar.txt"
18 MozillaCookieJarFile =cookielib.MozillaCookieJar()
19 print Mozilla CookieJarFile
20 MozillaCookieJarFile.load( readfilename)
21 Print MozillaCookieJarFile
22 if __name__=="__main__":
23 HandleCookie()
