How to enable cookie support with pyWebKit?

The documentation for pyWebKitGTK is pretty scarce. I've looked through their python .def files but they don't seem to contain the words cookie, session, (lib)soup or (lib)curl开发者_如何学JAVA.. so maybe it isn't possible, huh. I've also looked through the WebKitGTK docs (for the C-based library) and aside from a brief mention of libsoup there doesn't appear to be anything there either. But on the other hand cookie support seems like pretty fundamental stuff. Could anyone confirm / deny PyWebKitGTK's support of cookies?

Note: am currently using the GTK version, but I don't mind switching to the Qt one if the feature is there.

I can confirm that WebKitGTK supports cookies, and that you can use them with pywebkitgtk and ctypes successfully- though I'm not sure if that was the case when this question was posted!

To make cookies persist in a useful way, see my answer to this question.

webkit is a html renderer, not a complete browser. I guess you must deal with persisting the cookies yourself.
