Description

From Georg Brandl on the ​Python bug tracker:

"Django uses __init__(str()) roundtripping, which is not explicitly supported by the [SimpleCookie] library, and worked by accident with previous versions. That it works again with 3.3+ is another accident, and a bug."

If Python fixes this "bug", we'll need to backport a fix to all supported versions of Django. I'm working a patch using the solution suggested by Georg on the ticket.

Has patch: set

​PR. As this patch merely moves our workaround for a bug in Python (that SimpleCookie is not pickable with HIGHEST_PROTOCOL), I also ​created an issue and submitted a patch for Python itself.

The Python ticket to introduce stricter parsing is ​#22796. Django's test suite is broken by the patch proposed on the Python ticket but passes once again with my pull request.

Severity: Release blocker → Normal
Version: 1.6 → master

It doesn't look like the Python fix will be backported, so this isn't so urgent. It will be necessary for Python 3.5 compatibility (#23763).
