Why does Cookie method fail???

Sounce weird, but maybe you have a Cookie.py (cookie.py?) in your sys.path
that imports Cookie and so Cookie.Cookie is instead a module.

Try this:

go to the directory that your cgi is in

# /usr/local/bin/python
...
>>> import cgi, os, sys, Cookie
>>> Cookie.Cookie
<class Cookie.SmartCookie at 817df58>

If your interpreter doesn't say "class..." but instead says 
<module 'Cookie' from '/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/Cookie.py'>
or similiar then then this might be the problem.
