Do we have a procedure for putting more batteries in the core? I'm not talking about stuff like PEP-206, I'm talking about small, useful modules like Cookies.py.

In contrast, i've been motivated with questions like yours which pop up every now and then to create a separate chapter entrily devoted to CGI pro- gramming and in it, to provide an example that starts out simple and builds to something a little more complex. there will be lots of screen captures too so that you can see what's going on. finally, there will be a more "advanced" section towards the end which does the complicated stuff that everyone wants to do, like cookies, multivalued fields, and file uploads with multipart data. sorry that the book isn't out yet... trying to get the weeds out of it right NOW! ;-)

I'm looking forward to seeing the book!

Got a question, that is almost relevant to the thread. Does anybody know why cookie support isn't built in to the cgi module? I had to dig around to find Cookie.py, which (excellent module that it is) should be in the cgi package somewhere.

Just a random thought from the middle of my workday...

Later, Brian Wisti
