it'll be easier to help you if you post your code

import pycurl

def setup_curl(url):
  c = pycurl.Curl()
  c.setopt(pycurl.URL, url)
  c.setopt(pycurl.COOKIEFILE, '')
  return c

I've set the cookie file and cookie jar options to the same value. This may not be correct usage but it works for me.

Code excerpt (don't use Python; this is in PHP but should be pretty obvious):

$curl= curl_init($URL);
$cookiefile="cookie";
...
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookiefile);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookiefile); # SAME cookiefile
...
