aiohttp - Set a cookie and then redirect the user

Question

I am writing a web server using the python aiohttp library.

How do I set a cookie and then redirect the user to another page in one response?

It's possible to redirect the user with aiohttp.web.HTTPSeeOther, but I can't find a way to attach cookies to it.

Just set cookie value of the response.

import aiohttp
response = aiohttp.web.HTTPSeeOther(<location>)
response.cookies['test'] = '1'
return response

This worked, except I used the `set_cookie` function instead of accessing the cookie dictionary directly. – DXsmiley Feb 16 '17 at 21:57
