Cookies

Trying to write a python script that does the same thing my browser does
when posting a form.(cgi)

All works except for this. My browser has a cookie which it also sends, and
the server insists on getting.

So how can I replicate this under python? I've looked at cookie module but
can't see how to use it to achieve this. Please help.

That's right, the cookie module is for use on a server, not a client.

Try the ClientCookie module:

http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/ClientCookie/

I've used this successfully to do client-side things such as logging into
Yahoo as a browser would.
