A DNS toolkit for Python

Edit Package python-dnspython

dnspython is a DNS toolkit for Python. It supports almost all record
types. It can be used for queries, zone transfers,
and dynamic updates. It supports TSIG authenticated messages and EDNS0.

dnspython provides both high and low level access to DNS. The high level classes
perform queries for data of a given name, type, and class, and return an answer
set. The low level classes allow direct manipulation of DNS zones, messages,
names, and records.

dnspython originated at Nominum where it was developed to facilitate the testing
of DNS software. Nominum has generously allowed it to be open sourced under a
BSD-style license.

- update to version 2.1.0:
 * End-of-line comments are now associated with rdata when read from text.
   For backwards compatibility with prior versions of dnspython, they are
   only emitted in to_text() when requested.
 * Synchronous I/O is a bit more efficient, as we now try the I/O and only
   use poll() or select() if the I/O would block.
 * The resolver cache classes now offer basic hit and miss statistics, and
   the LRUCache can also provide hits for every cache key.
 * The resolver has a canonical_name() method.
 * There is now a registration mechanism for EDNS option types.
 * The default EDNS payload size has changed from 1280 to 1232.
 * The SVCB, HTTPS, and SMIMEA RR types are now supported.
 * TSIG has been enhanced with TKEY and GSS-TSIG support.  Thanks to
   Nick Hall for writing this.
 * Zones now can be updated via transactions.
 * A new zone subclass, dns.versioned.Zone is available which has a
   thread-safe transaction implementation and support for keeping many
   versions of a zone.
 * The zone file reading code has been adapted to use transactions, and
   is now a public API.
 * Inbound zone transfer support has been rewritten and is available as
   dns.query.inbound_xfr() and dns.asyncquery.inbound_xfr().  It uses
   the transaction mechanism, and fully supports IXFR and AXFR.
