[mod_python] newbie cookie confusion

I am using the mod_python.publisher; could that mess me up with cookies
somehow?
I'm just trying to get the basic demo from the manual to work.

I notice the manual writes a plain cookie but reads a marshall cookie.  Am I
correct in assuming these are not compatible cookies, and you had better
read the type you wrote?

I haven't been through the docs but I'd suggest that you have a look at 
cookies[c] in case cookies is a dictionary.
