Summary     : DNS toolkit for Python
Description :
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.

Update Information:

Update to 1.9.2 and add Python 2.6 subpackage

New since 1.8.0:

       dnspython now uses poll() instead of select() when available.

       Basic DNSSEC validation can be done using dns.dnsec.validate()
       and dns.dnssec.validate_rrsig() if you have PyCrypto 2.3 or
       later installed.  Complete secure resolution is not yet
       available.

       Added key_id() to the DNSSEC module, which computes the DNSSEC
       key id of a DNSKEY rdata.

       Added make_ds() to the DNSSEC module, which returns the DS RR
       for a given DNSKEY rdata.

       dnspython now raises an exception if HMAC-SHA284 or
       HMAC-SHA512 are used with a Python older than 2.5.2.  (Older
       Pythons do not compute the correct value.)

       Symbolic constants are now available for TSIG algorithm names.

Bugs fixed since 1.8.0

       dns.resolver.zone_for_name() didn't handle a query response
       with a CNAME or DNAME correctly in some cases.

       When specifying rdata types and classes as text, Unicode
       strings may now be used.

       Hashlib compatibility issues have been fixed.

       dns.message now imports dns.edns.

       The TSIG algorithm value was passed incorrectly to use_tsig()
       in some cases.
