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 | ||
