Issue1501

I'm working on getting the web2py framework to work on Jython.  I found
this interesting bug:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\web2py2\gluon\main.py", line 442, in wsgibase
    session.connect(request, response)
  File "C:\web2py2\gluon\main.py", line 442, in wsgibase
    session.connect(request, response)
  File "C:\web2py2\gluon\globals.py", line 323, in connect
    response.cookies[response.session_id_name] = response.session_id
  File "C:\jython2.5.1\Lib\Cookie.py", line 579, in __setitem__
    self.__set(key, rval, cval)
  File "C:\jython2.5.1\Lib\Cookie.py", line 572, in _BaseCookie__set
    M.set(key, real_value, coded_value)
  File "C:\jython2.5.1\Lib\Cookie.py", line 450, in set
    if "" != translate(key, idmap, LegalChars):
  File "C:\jython2.5.1\Lib\string.py", line 491, in translate
    return s.translate(table, deletions)
TypeError: translate() takes 2 arguments (2 given)

I've looked at a Cookie.py and string.py and they both seem on track. 
Maybe I'm missing something but it seems they're tripping something up
in the interpreter.

I can use the SimpleCookie class just fine in an interpreter and the key
value in question is "session_id_init" so it's not like we're doing
anything wierd.

Likely the problem is response.session_id_name is a unicode object but 
Cookie expects a string. If that's the case it may or may not be 
Jython's fault. Jython has had some issues in the past where it returns 
unicode instead of strs, one common gotcha is Jython treats 
java.lang.Strings from Java as unicode objects. You'll need to narrow 
down where that unicode value came from originally.

The confusing error message is a bug, but that's a duplicate of #1305, 
so I'm closing this issue out. Please reopen this or open a new ticket 
if it turns out to be something on our side.
