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.
