Question

How could I make Python’s module mechanize (specifically mechanize.Browser()) to save its current cookies to a human-readable file? Also, how would I go about uploading that cookie to a web page with it?

Thanks

Deusdies,I just figured out a way with refrence to Mykola Kharechko’s post

#to save cookie
>>>cookiefile=open('cookie','w')
>>>cookiestr=''
>>>for c in br._ua_handlers['_cookies'].cookiejar:
>>>    cookiestr+=c.name+'='+c.value+';'
>>>cookiefile.write(cookiestr)  
#binding this cookie to another Browser
>>>while len(cookiestr)!=0:
>>>    br1.set_cookie(cookiestr)
>>>    cookiestr=cookiestr[cookiestr.find(';')+1:]
>>>cookiefile.close()
