The cookie library doesn't seem to support the standard date format (RFC 822) for the expire property while parsing a cookie. For example, in the Python prompt: >>> import Cookie >>> cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie('bcookie="123"; Expires=Sat, 14-Jun-2014 23:03:13 GMT;') >>> cookie['bcookie']['expires'] 'Sat,' That is a standard header, but it only processes the date up to the first space.

2.6.8 is the latest source-only release of the 2.6 series. Here's what I get: Python 2.6.8 (unknown, Jun 15 2012, 15:51:46) [GCC 4.5.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import Cookie >>> cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie('bcookie="123"; Expires=Sat, 14-Jun-2014 23:03:13 GMT;') >>> cookie['bcookie']['expires'] 'Sat, 14-Jun-2014 23:03:13 GMT' Jeremy, what is the exact version of 2.6 being used?

Jeremy, when reporting bugs, please first check the latest release. This works in current 2.7.3 (as well as latest 2.6.8 and 3.3.0). >>> import Cookie >>> cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie('bcookie="123"; Expires=Sat, 14-Jun-2014 23:03:13 GMT;') >>> cookie['bcookie']['expires'] 'Sat, 14-Jun-2014 23:03:13 GMT' 2.6 only gets security patches. There have been as least a thousand patches since 2.6.1 and this is one of them.
