Thanks for your thoughtful and detailed analysis of this issue! I agree completely that in an ideal world it would be easy to do things the robust way and hard...

Great suggestion! I'm 100% on board with adding type annotations. I'll let this sit for a while in case anyone wants to use this as a way to get involved...

@gophra Thanks for offering to get involved! As far as I understand, type annotations can be added incrementally, so I think getting some infrastructure for _testing_ the type annotations would...

Since the `btnName` argument of `StatefulBrowser.submit_selected` is just forwarded to `Form.choose_submit`, a bs4.element.Tag can be passed to either method. To answer the original question explicitly, you can do something like...

Great question, thanks for asking! The Requests session has a few methods for cookiejar manipulation, and I could definitely envision adding a `set_cookie` method to MechanicalSoup that wraps one of...

Thanks for the clarification. Hmm, what about something like this? ```python from http.cookies import SimpleCookie cookie_jar = browser.get_cookiejar() for raw_cookie in raw_cookies_from_js: cookie = SimpleCookie(raw_cookie) cookie_jar.set_cookie(cookie) ```

Thanks for your follow-up. I guess I was naive in thinking that such a straightforward solution would be possible! It does seem frustrating, but I think that having a hack...
