I have the same issue but with the cookie key name
I'm trying to set a cookie with name usercookie[username], but it
seems using square brackets in the cookie key name makes a problem
here, is there any work around for this problem?
>>> SimpleCookie('usercookie[username]=speedy; path=/; domain=mydomain.com')
<SimpleCookie: >
