Sorry for asking this, but what "cookies in the core" means to you in the first place? A library module.py, C code or both?

I think Python is good enough for that. (Python is a great language!) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Moshe preaching to the choir

PS: I can hardly accept the idea that cookies are necessary for normal Web usage. I'm not against them, though. IMO, it is important to keep control on whether they're enabled or disabled.

Yes, but that all happens client-side -- we were talking server-side cookies. Cookies are a state-management mechanism for a loosely-coupled protocols, and are almost essential in today's web. Not giving support means that Python is not as good a server-side language as it can be.
