Looking for new maintainers =========================== https://github.com/saghul/pycares/issues/139 pycares: Python interface for c-ares ==================================== pycares is a Python module which provides an interface to c-ares. `c-ares <https://c-ares.org>`_ is a C library that performs DNS requests and name resolutions asynchronously. Documentation ------------- http://readthedocs.org/docs/pycares/ Bundled c-ares -------------- pycares currently bundles c-ares as a submodule for ease of building. Using the system provided c-ares is possible if the ``PYCARES_USE_SYSTEM_LIB`` environment variable is set to ``1`` when building. NOTE: Versions prior to 4.0.0 used to embed a modified c-ares with extended TTL support. That is no longer the case and as a result only A and AAAA records will have TTL information. Follow this PR in uppstream c-ares, looks like TTLs will be added: https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/pull/393 Installation ------------ GNU/Linux, macOS, Windows, others: :: pip install pycares FreeBSD: :: cd /usr/ports/dns/py-pycares && make install IDNA 2008 support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If the ``idna`` package is installed, pycares will support IDNA 2008 encoding otherwise the builtin idna codec will be used, which provides IDNA 2003 support. You can force this at installation time as follows: :: pip install pycares[idna] Running the test suite ---------------------- There are several ways of running the test suite: - Run the test with the current Python interpreter: From the toplevel directory, run: ``python tests/tests.py`` - Use Tox to run the test suite in several virtualenvs with several interpreters From the toplevel directory, run: ``tox -e py36,py37,py38,py39`` this will run the test suite on Python 3.6 through 3.9 (you'll need to have them installed beforehand) Using it from the cli, a la dig ------------------------------- This module can be used directly from the command line in a similar fashion to dig (limited, of course): :: $ python -m pycares google.com ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;google.com IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: google.com 300 IN A 172.217.17.142 $ python -m pycares mx google.com ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;google.com IN MX ;; ANSWER SECTION: google.com 600 IN MX 50 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com google.com 600 IN MX 10 aspmx.l.google.com google.com 600 IN MX 40 alt3.aspmx.l.google.com google.com 600 IN MX 20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com google.com 600 IN MX 30 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com Author ------ Saúl Ibarra Corretgé <s@saghul.net> License ------- Unless stated otherwise on-file pycares uses the MIT license, check LICENSE file.
