From the documentation:

The expires attribute is a property whose value is checked upon setting to 
be in format "Wdy, DD-Mon-YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT" (as dictated per Netscape 
cookie specification), or a numeric value representing time in seconds 
since beginning of epoch (which will be automatically correctly converted 
to GMT time string). An invalid expires value will raise ValueError.

Therefore, you cannot set it to time.time().  You'll need to create a 
strftime string for it.
