python cookiejar: CookieJar instance has no attribute 'load'

I am quite new to python and I am trying to set a cookie using the cookielib library of python, like so:

>>> import cookielib
>>> cj = cookielib.CookieJar()
>>> cj.load('cookies.txt')

and I get thrown this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: CookieJar instance has no attribute 'load'

I think the same code used to work earlier, but I am entirely unsure why this is happening now.

load() is a method on the FileCookieJar() class only, a subclass of CookieJar().

Looks like you got confused between the two somewhere.

The following works:

import cookielib
cj = cookielib.FileCookieJar()
cj.load('cookies.txt')
