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.. 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.

+1  A: 

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

Hmm yes I guess I was confused about that at first. However, I still can't see how to add cookie capability to it.. I looked at the WebKitGTK browser [surf][1] and it calls `webkit_get_default_session()` to get the cookie data (or something like that). But there is no analog of that function in the Python version. I'm guessing that it might simply have not been implemented?[1]: surf.suckless.org
