Question

I made a simple cookie and i want to store a python stack object.

C = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
arr = []
class Test:
 num = None
for x in range(10):
 test = Test()
 test.num = x
 arr.append(test)
 C['myCookie'] = arr # i want to do something like this
 arr = C['myCookie']

can any one tell me a way to do it . to store an array in python cookie

Answer 1

For general purpose object-to-string-and-back conversions, you could use the pickle module:

C['myCookie'] = pickle.dumps(arr)
arr_restored = pickle.loads(C['myCookie'].value)

Keep in mind that unpickling untrusted cookies represents a security risk. If that is an issue for you, then you will need to adopt some other strategy for turning an array of user defined object into a string and for converting it back.
