This is a recursive whois module/client for python which provides typical whois lookup and the ability to parse records into usable objects. / Change-log: / v1.1: / ?Reorganized class structure and API. / Class WhoisRecord instead of just functions for grabbing raw records. / The sub class DomainRecord for parsing the whois record. / ?Added more TLD mappings thanks to Istvan Marko and Dan Fandrich / ?Fixed major bugs in register.com and networksolutions.com parsers so they work better. / ?Added more hacks to handle inconsistencies in whois records that confused the parsers for some domains. / ?Timeout connection code uses sig.alarm now, better response but bad for threads since python does not support per thread signaling. / ?Removed out dated test records. / v1.0: / ?Auto selection/guess of whois server by domain. / ?Recursive lookup for the messed up .com .net .org registries. / ?The ParseWhois method takes the domain instead of the raw whois data as input. Raw page is stored in the added DomainRecord.page attribute. / ?NoParser exception when there is no parser for a registry. / ?Changed the connection code not to try connecting forever and raise socket exceptions..Connection refused,No Route to host etc etc. / The following changes are to be done and welcomed: / ?Finish mapping all top level domains in the whoismap structure for server auto-selection. Only .com .net .org .edu .de are there. / ?Add more Parsers. Only whois.networksolutions.com and whois.register.com parsers currently exist. / ?A more detailed and universal DomainRecord object for representing the most important data from the world's registries. / ?Improved classes/api. / |
