+International Domain Name CODECs
+--------------------------------
+
+Representing non-ASCII text in the DNS is a complex and evolving
+topic. Generally speaking, Unicode is converted into an ASCII-only,

+two standard specifications for this process, "IDNA 2003", which is
+widely used, and the revised and not fully compatible standard "IDNA
+2008". There are also varying degrees of strictness that can be applied

+out of scope for this document; Unicode Technical Standard #46
+http://unicode.org/reports/tr46/ is a good place to start learning more.

+DNS Names
+=========
+
+Objects of the dns.name.Name class represent an immutable aomain name.
+The representation is a tuple of labels, with each lable being a ``binary``
+object in the DNS wire format. Typically names are not created by
+supplying the labels tuple directly, but rather by converting from DNS
+text format or the DNS wire format.
+
+Labels are in the same order as in the DNS textual form, e.g. the labels
+value for ``www.dnspython.org.`` is ``(b'www', b'dnspython', b'org', b'')`` on
+Python 3, and ``('www', 'dnspython', 'org', '')`` on Python 2.
+
+Names may be *absolute* or *relative*. Absolute names end in the root label,
+which is an empty ``binary``. Relative names do not end in the root label. To
+convert a relative name to an absolute name requires specifying an *origin*.
+Typically the origin is known by context. Dnspython provides tools to
+relativize and derelativize names. It's a good idea not to mix relative
+and absolute names, other than in the context of a zone. Names encoded
+in the DNS wire protocol are always absolute. Dnspython's functions to
+make names from text also default to an origin of the root name, and thus
+to make a relative name using them you must specify an origin of None or
+``dns.name.empty``.
+
+Names are compared and ordered according to the rules of the DNS. The
+order is the DNSSEC canonical ordering. Relative names always sort before
+absolute names.
+
+Names may also be compared according to the DNS tree hierarchy with
+the ``fullcompare()`` method. For example ```www.dnspython.org.`` is
+a subdomain of ``dnspython.org.``. See the method description for
+full details.

+Python 2 vs. Python 3
+---------------------
+
+Dnspython was originally written in Python 2, and for some years had a
+separate Python 3 branch. Thanks to some excellent work by
+contributors to the project, there is now a single source tree that
+works for both.
+
+The most significant user-visible differences between the two are in
+the representations of binary data and textual data. For Python 3,
+binary data stored using the `bytes` type, and textual data is stored
+using the `str` type. For Python 2, binary data is stored using the
+`str` type, and textual data can use the `str` or `unicode` types.
+Because there is a single source tree, the documentation will refer to
+`binary` and `text` when describing the types of binary data or
+textual data, respectively.
+
+
