Thanks Aaron, I wish I had known it was that simple. I'm surprised it
allows an upper case "E" on Expires and seems to convert to lower for
the generated header. This is the code I use but had I known it allowed
seconds, I would have used that for sure.
c = Cookie(name,locals()[name])
#c.setMaxAge(30*24*60*60) # Doesn't cause the cookie to be saved to
disk.
expirationDate = DateTime.now() + DateTime.RelativeDateTime(months=+1)
c._cookie['expires'] = expirationDate.Format("%A, %d-%b-%y %H:%M:%S
GMT")
