LDNSX: Easy DNS (including DNSSEC) via ldns. ldns is a great library. It is a powerfull tool for working with DNS. python-ldns it is a straight up clone of the C interface, howver that is not a very good interface for python. Its documentation is incomplete and some functions don't work as described. And some objects don't have a full python API. ldnsx aims to fix this. It wraps around the ldns python bindings, working around its limitations and providing a well-documented, more pythonistic interface.

Print the response packet. >>> import ldnsx >>> resolver = ldnsx.resolver() >>> print resolver.query("google.com","A") Print the NS records for com. from f.root-servers.net if we get a response, else an error message. >>> import ldnsx >>> pkt = ldnsx.resolver("f.root-servers.net").query("com.","NS") >>> if pkt: >>> for rr in pkt.answer(): >>> print rr >>> else: >>> print "response not received"
