Accessing Firefox 3 Cookies in Python

Question

I am trying to create a python script that will access a website using cookies in Firefox. cookielib.MozillaCookieJar will work if it supports Firefox 3. Is there a way to access Firefox 3 cookies inside python?

I see that there are two files in the [home] / folder. mozilla / firefox / [randomletters] .default / is called cookies.sqlite and cookies-nontor.xml. The .xml file looks like it would be easy to write a function that returns a CookieJar from it, but if there is already a module that does this, I would like to avoid re-creating the wheel.

Answer 1

SQLite FF 3. " Python" Mechanize .

Answer 2

cookie Firefox, : https://bitbucket.org/richardpenman/browser_cookie/

:

import requests
import browser_cookie
cj = browser_cookie.firefox()
r = requests.get(url, cookies=cj)

import requests

url = 'http://github.com'
cookie_file = '/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/f00b4r.default/cookies.sqlite'
