Problem
Clues
Clue 1
Image: it is named cookies
Clue 2
There's an embedded image. Looks familiar? It's from Level 4.
Solution
Part 1:
from urllib.request import urlopen
from urllib.parse import unquote_plus, unquote_to_bytes
import re, bz2
num = '12345'
info = ''
while(True):
h = urlopen('http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/linkedlist.php?busynothing='+num)
raw = h.read().decode("utf-8")
print(raw)
cookie = h.getheader("Set-Cookie")
info += re.search('info=(.*?);', cookie).group(1)
match = re.search('the next busynothing is (\d+)', raw)
if match == None:
break
else:
num = match.group(1)
res = unquote_to_bytes(info.replace("+", " "))
print(res)
print(bz2.decompress(res).decode())
Output:
...
and the next busynothing is 96070
and the next busynothing is 83051
that's it.

And the final line:
is it the 26th already? call his father and inform him that "the flowers are on their way". he'll understand.
Part 2:
from xmlrpc.client import ServerProxy
conn = ServerProxy("http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/phonebook.php")
print(conn.phone("Leopold"))
