O'Malley got in touch with me and let me know that the license has been changed to the 1.5.2 license with his departure from BBN. He hasn't sent me a URL where the current version can be downloaded, though. I don't know if WebWare has the most current version; it seems not, since O'Malley's was dated 06/21 and WebWare's was checked in on May 23.

Well, as soon as you get a version, let me know: I've started working on documentation.

By the way, I'd suggest adding Cookie.py to a new 'web' package, and taking advantage of the move to break backward compatibility and remove the automatic usage of pickle (assuming it's still there).

Well, depends on what you mean there:

There are now three classes

a) SimpleCookie -- never uses pickle b) SerilizeCookie -- always uses pickle c) SmartCookie -- uses pickle based on old heuristic.

About web package: I'm +0. Fred has to think about how to document things in packages (we never had to until now). Well, who cares

What is more important is working on documentation (which I'm doing), and on a regression test (for which the May 23 version is probably good enough).
