Although I haven't looked at your code, I think the functionality would be a good addition to Python. Brett's right though, it needs (Python style) documentation and unit tests.

There are unit tests aplenty, and LaTeX docs are on the way.

I wonder if it makes sense to combine the functionality of Cookie.py and cookielib.py? Perhaps not, but at the very least I'd like to see

Not. :-)

There is little overlap between the two modules, and it would probably complicate cookielib to combine it with Cookie (and might possibly make my brain explode).

something like this integrated into the eventual output of the web-sig (probably not for 2.4).

The web-sig list has been dead for some time. I haven't seen any client-side output from web-sig, other than my own work on a Browser class. Haven't seen any server-side output about which there's any consensus, either, come to that.
