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 :). + + +ABOUT THIS RELEASE + +This is dnspython 1.3.0. + +New since 1.2.0: + + Added support for new DNSSEC types RRSIG, NSEC, and DNSKEY. + +This release fixes all known bugs. + +See the ChangeLog file for more detailed information on changes since +the prior release. + + +REQUIREMENTS + +Python 2.2 or later. + + +INSTALLATION + +To build and install dnspython, type + + python setup.py install + + +HOME PAGE + +For the latest in releases, documentation, and information, visit the +dnspython home page at + + http://www.dnspython.org/ + + + +DOCUMENTATION + +Documentation is sparse at the moment.
