6507	[proposal] Create extension to Python Cookie module	David Cramer	nobody	"Create an extension to the Python Cookie module to help solve issues with cookie key/value errors.

By subclassing the SimpleCookie module you can add support into it to try/except on the set method so invalid cookies get thrown away, but valid cookies are not lost.
