  3. =========
  4. Dnspython is a DNS toolkit for Python. It can be used for queries,
  5. zone transfers, dynamic updates, nameserver testing, and many other
  6. things.
  7. Dnspython provides both high and low level access to the DNS. The high
  8. level classes perform queries for data of a given name, type, and
  9. class, and return an answer set. The low level classes allow direct
  10. manipulation of DNS zones, messages, names, and records. Almost all
  11. RR types are supported.
  12. dnspython originated at Nominum where it was developed for testing DNS
  13. nameservers. Nominum has generously allowed it to be open sourced
  14. under a BSD-style license, and helps support its future development by
  15. continuing to employ the author.
