The relationship is that cookielib is derived from ClientCookie: essentially the same code, cleaned up to take advantage of newer Python features, renamed to 'cookielib' and added to the stdlib. The other difference is in thread synchronisation: ClientCookie had some broken thread synchronisation at one point, which was subsequently removed (which doesn't imply ClientCookie is not useful in threaded code). Though an unfortunate series of events the released cookielib ended up with that broken thread synchronisation code. It seems at least some of those thread synchronisation bugs in cookielib are fixed in the lastest version of Python. http://python.org/sf/1484758 http://python.org/sf/1587139 John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
