Name        : python-dns

Version     : 1.8.0
Release     : 3.fc12

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.

- New since 1.7.1:
- 
-  Support for hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384 and
-  hmac-sha512 has been contributed by Kevin Chen.
- 
-  The tokenizer's tokens are now Token objects instead of (type,
-  value) tuples.
- 
- Bugs fixed since 1.7.1:
- 
-  Escapes in masterfiles now work correctly.  Previously they were
-  only working correctly when the text involved was part of a domain
-  name.
- 
-  When constructing a DDNS update, if the present() method was used
-  with a single rdata, a zero TTL was not added.
- 
-  The entropy pool needed locking to be thread safe.
- 
-  The entropy pool's reading of /dev/random could cause dnspython to
-  block.
- 
-  The entropy pool did buffered reads, potentially consuming more
-  randomness than we needed.
- 
-  The entropy pool did not seed with high quality randomness on
-  Windows.
- 
-  SRV records were compared incorrectly.
- 
-  In the e164 query function, the resolver parameter was not used.
