I need to get the cookies after logging in a webpage, using a particular email and password with mechanize. How can I get the browser's cookies in a particular login session?

Answer 1

You can get the cookies from browser._ua_handlers['_cookies'].cookiejar. This returns a mechanize._clientcookie.CookieJar object which can be iterated through and there are names and values for each of the cookies in it.

For instance, the first cookie's name and value are: browser._ua_handlers['_cookies'].cookiejar[0].name browser._ua_handlers['_cookies'].cookiejar[0].value
