.. module:: dns.query .. _query: DNS Query Support ================= The ``dns.query`` module is for sending messages to DNS servers, and processing their responses. If you want "stub resolver" behavior, then you should use the higher level ``dns.resolver`` module; see :ref:`resolver`. For UDP and TCP, the module provides a single "do everything" query function, and also provides the send and receive halves of this function individually for situations where more sophisticated I/O handling is in being used by the application.
