This project provides a simple high level api for performingDNS lookups. The actual DNS protocol implementation is providedby either py3dns/pydns or dnspython, depending on which of theseis available. Additionally, responses are cached to improvethe performance of multiple queries for the same value.

This code was originally written by Stuart D. Gathman as part of thepymilter project

Dnsplug depends on either pydns/py3dns or dnspython (attempted inthat order). If running in python2, thetyping module is also needed

in your virtualenv, runpip install tox and then invoketox. Thisexpects a python 2.7 and python 3.6 to be available.

Short answer: to be able to correctly test with tox, long answerhere

• As the copied code from pymilter notes, it is a bit inconsistentthat AAAA records are returned as binary strings but A is returnedas a dot separated octet ascii string. Let's figure out somethingbetter.
• Figure out a way to do testing that doesn't depend on internetconnectivity. Let's mock the remote end.
• Testing of various failure modes.
• Set up automated testing somewhere (Travis CI?)
