I am working on a Cookie module which works *with* urllib2 rather
than on top of it like the existing ClientCookie module. It uses
the Cookie module which comes with python standard library.
First, if there's a way to work more closely with urllib2 than I've
figured out (which is quite possible), this patch needs to know about
it, so please post a comment:

If I understand what you mean, ClientCookie only works 'on top of'
rather than 'with' urllib2 to the extent that it currently has to
cut-n-paste code to add cookie handling to urllib2. That patch is
designed to remove the need to cut-n-paste, which would mean you'd do
urllib2.urlopen (after building an OpenerDirector that has an
HTTPCookieProcessor from ClientCookie) instead of ClientCookie.urlopen
as is required at present.
Second: is your module intended to do what ClientCookie does
(ie. figure out what cookies should be set and returned, and do so),
or is it just a more OO way of getting and returning Cookie headers?
I guess the latter?
This module is written as an extension of my Harvestman webcrawler.
The alpha code is ready. We are doing testing right now.
