Requests: Setting session cookies from cookiejar

[JamesTheHacker]

I'm trying to set the session cookies from a cookiejar, but having no joy. Here is my current code, cookies, and the error.

Surely there has to be a way to set the session cookies from a cookiejar?

def cookieLogin(cookies):

    with open(cookies) as f:
        cookies = requests.utils.cookiejar_from_dict(json.load(f)[0] )

    session = requests.session()
    session.cookies = cookies

    r = session.get('https://example.com')

Cookie example:

[
{
    "domain": ".example.com",
    "hostOnly": false,
    "httpOnly": false,
    "name": "act",
    "path": "/",
    "sameSite": "no_restriction",
    "secure": false,
    "session": true,
    "storeId": "0",
    "value": "875",
    "id": 1
},
{
    "domain": ".example.com",
    "expirationDate": 1479135421.720188,
    "hostOnly": false,
    "httpOnly": false,
    "name": "c_user",
    "path": "/",
    "sameSite": "no_restriction",
    "secure": true,
    "session": false,
    "storeId": "0",
    "value": "109",
    "id": 2
},
...

Error:

No worries, solved it:

def cookieLogin(cookies):

    with open(cookies) as f:
        j = json.load(f)

    session = requests.Session()
    for cookie in j: session.cookies.set(cookie['name'], cookie['value'])

    r = session.get('https://example.com')
