+
+INTRODUCTION
+
+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.
+
+To see a few of the ways dnspython can be used, look in the examples/
+directory.
+
+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, and helps support its future
+development by continuing to employ the author :).
+
