How to save requests (python) cookies to a file?

Question

How to use the library requests (in python) after a request

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import requests
bot = requests.session         


        

Answer 1

This will do the job:

session.cookies = LWPCookieJar('cookies.txt')

The CookieJar API requires you to call load() and save() manually though. If you do not care about the cookies.txt format, I have a ShelvedCookieJar implementation that will persist on change.
