Looking at cookielib, you get:

try:
    from cookielib import Cookie, CookieJar         # Python 2
except ImportError:
    from http.cookiejar import Cookie, CookieJar    # Python 3
cj = CookieJar()
# Cookie(version, name, value, port, port_specified, domain, 
# domain_specified, domain_initial_dot, path, path_specified, 
# secure, discard, comment, comment_url, rest)
c = Cookie(None, 'asdf', None, '80', '80', 'www.foo.bar', 
       None, None, '/', None, False, False, 'TestCookie', None, None, None)
cj.set_cookie(c)
print cj

There are no real sanity checks for the instantiation parameters. The ports have to be strings, not int.
