To show I am trying. ;) I found this old post below that still leaves me with some Q's.
How do you format setCookie to control the domain that is referenced? example: setCookie auto-sets the subfolder address, www.domain.com/sub1/sub2 BUT I want to set the cookie for the root URL without the sub-domain (www). example: .domain.com is what I want to write in the cookie to share across sub-domains.
What is **kw? in setCookie(name, value, **kw) It is referenced many times in Appendix B: Zope Book.
Thanks for the help! -Trevor
Hello cookiemonster Trevor, when you see a function x(arg1, *args) it means that x really NEEDS the first argument arg1 and CAN handle a bunch of extra arguments following arg1. The size of the bunch ( a tuple in Python-speach) is arbitrary, i.e. x(arg1, arg2, arg3) is just as well as is x(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5) or x(arg1). Of course arg1 must not be a part of this bunch of extra arguments. When you see a function y(arg1, **kw) it means that y expects a bunch of keyword arguments (a dictionary in Python-speach) of the form keyword=''value'. The size of the bunch is arbitrary and again, arg1 must not be a one of the keywords in this bunch of extra keyword arguments. E.g. y(arg1, kw1='foo', kw2='bar', kw3='baz') See also sections 4.6 and 4.7 of the python tutorial http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/tut.html for the original explanation. Hope this helps, Roger
