Django cookies place double quotes around email address

On my login script it creates a cookie for the user logging in of their email address and password. Problem I am having is when the email address is set it puts the entire email address between double quotes. How would I get it to not?

if request.method == 'POST':
     post = request.POST
     email = post.get('email', None)
     response.set_cookie('emailaddress', email, max_age=expire_v)

Another solution for this issue is to directly work with a SimpleCookie object and attach it to your response

>>> from Cookie import SimpleCookie
>>> mycookie = SimpleCookie()
>>> mycookie['emailaddress'] = '[email protected]'
>>> mycookie['emailaddress']['expires'] = datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
>>> print(mycookie)
Set-Cookie: emailaddress="[email protected]"; expires=2015-11-25 22:20:16
>>> response.cookies = mycookies

I had the same issue, and i fixed by using SimpleCookie
