+#  Cookie.py is a Python module for the handling of HTTP
+#  cookies as a Python dictionary.  See RFC 2109 for more
+#  information on cookies.
+#
+#  The original idea to treat Cookies as a dictionary came from
+#  Dave Mitchel (davem@magnet.com) in 1995, when he released the
+#  first version of nscookie.py.
+#
+####
+
+"""
+Here's a sample session to show how to use this module.
+At the moment, this is the only documentation.
+
+The Basics
+----------
+
+Importing is easy..
+
+   >>> import Cookie
+
+Most of the time you start by creating a cookie.  Cookies come in
+three flavors, each with slighly different encoding semanitcs, but
+more on that later.
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
+   >>> C = Cookie.SerialCookie()
+   >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
+
+[Note: Long-time users of Cookie.py will remember using
+Cookie.Cookie() to create an Cookie object.  Although deprecated, it
+is still supported by the code.  See the Backward Compatibility notes
+for more information.]
+
+Once you've created your Cookie, you can add values just as if it were
+a dictionary.
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
+   >>> C["fig"] = "newton"
+   >>> C["sugar"] = "wafer"
+   >>> C
+   Set-Cookie: sugar=wafer;
+   Set-Cookie: fig=newton;
+
+Notice that the printable representation of a Cookie is the
+appropriate format for a Set-Cookie: header.  This is the
+default behavior.  You can change the header and printed
+attributes by using the the .output() function
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
+   >>> C["rocky"] = "road"
+   >>> C["rocky"]["path"] = "/cookie"
+   >>> print C.output(header="Cookie:")
+   Cookie: rocky=road; Path=/cookie;
+   >>> print C.output(attrs=[], header="Cookie:")
+   Cookie: rocky=road;
+
+The load() method of a Cookie extracts cookies from a string.  In a
+CGI script, you would use this method to extract the cookies from the
+HTTP_COOKIE environment variable.
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
+   >>> C.load("chips=ahoy; vienna=finger")
+   >>> C
+   Set-Cookie: vienna=finger;
+   Set-Cookie: chips=ahoy;
+
+The load() method is darn-tootin smart about identifying cookies
+within a string.  Escaped quotation marks, nested semicolons, and other
+such trickeries do not confuse it.
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
+   >>> C.load('keebler="E=everybody; L=\\"Loves\\"; fudge=\\012;";')
+   >>> C
+   Set-Cookie: keebler="E=everybody; L=\"Loves\"; fudge=\012;";
+
+Each element of the Cookie also supports all of the RFC 2109
+Cookie attributes.  Here's an example which sets the Path
+attribute.
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
+   >>> C["oreo"] = "doublestuff"
+   >>> C["oreo"]["path"] = "/"
+   >>> C
+   Set-Cookie: oreo="doublestuff"; Path=/;
+
+Each dictionary element has a 'value' attribute, which gives you
+back the value associated with the key. 
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
+   >>> C["twix"] = "none for you"
+   >>> C["twix"].value
+   'none for you'
+
+
+A Bit More Advanced
+-------------------
+
+As mentioned before, there are three different flavors of Cookie
+objects, each with different encoding/decoding semantics.  This
+section briefly discusses the differences.
+
+SimpleCookie
+
+The SimpleCookie expects that all values should be standard strings.
+Just to be sure, SimpleCookie invokes the str() builtin to convert
+the value to a string, when the values are set dictionary-style.
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
+   >>> C["number"] = 7
+   >>> C["string"] = "seven"
+   >>> C["number"].value
+   '7'
+   >>> C["string"].value
+   'seven'
+   >>> C
+   Set-Cookie: number=7;
+   Set-Cookie: string=seven;
+
+ 
+SerialCookie
+
+The SerialCookie expects that all values should be serialized using
+cPickle (or pickle, if cPickle isn't available).  As a result of
+serializing, SerialCookie can save almost any Python object to a
+value, and recover the exact same object when the cookie has been
+returned.  (SerialCookie can yield some strange-looking cookie
+values, however.)
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.SerialCookie()
+   >>> C["number"] = 7
+   >>> C["string"] = "seven"
+   >>> C["number"].value
+   7
+   >>> C["string"].value
+   'seven'
+   >>> C
+   Set-Cookie: number="I7\012.";
+   Set-Cookie: string="S'seven'\012p1\012.";
+
+Be warned, however, if SerialCookie cannot de-serialize a value (because
+it isn't a valid pickle'd object), IT WILL RAISE AN EXCEPTION.
+
+
+SmartCookie
+
+The SmartCookie combines aspects of each of the other two flavors.
+When setting a value in a dictionary-fashion, the SmartCookie will
+serialize (ala cPickle) the value *if and only if* it isn't a
+Python string.  String objects are *not* serialized.  Similarly,
+when the load() method parses out values, it attempts to de-serialize
+the value.  If it fails, then it fallsback to treating the value
+as a string.
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.SmartCookie()
+   >>> C["number"] = 7
+   >>> C["string"] = "seven"
+   >>> C["number"].value
+   7
+   >>> C["string"].value
+   'seven'
+   >>> C
+   Set-Cookie: number="I7\012.";
+   Set-Cookie: string=seven;
+
+
+Backwards Compatibility
+-----------------------
+
+In order to keep compatibilty with earlier versions of Cookie.py,
+it is still possible to use Cookie.Cookie() to create a Cookie.  In
+fact, this simply returns a SmartCookie.
+
+   >>> C = Cookie.Cookie()
+   >>> C.__class__
+   <class Cookie.SmartCookie at 99f88>
+
+
+Finis.
