Tim O'Malley finally mailed me the correct URL for the latest version of the cookie module: http://www.timo-tasi.org/python/Cookie.py

However... I think the Web support in Python needs more work in generally, and certainly more than can be done for 2.0. One of my plans for the not-too-distant future is to start writing a Python/CGI guide, and the process of writing it is likely to shake out more ugliness that should be fixed.

I'd like to propose a 'Web Library Enhancement PEP', and offer to champion and write it. Its goal would be to identify missing features and specify them, and list other changes to improve Python as a Web/CGI language. Possibly the PEP would also drop backward-compatibility cruft.

(Times like this I wish the Web-SIG hadn't been killed...)
