dnspython is a DNS toolkit for Python. It supports almost all record types. It can be used for queries, zone transfers, and dynamic updates. It supports TSIG authenticated messages and EDNS0.

dnspython provides both high and low level access to DNS. The high level classes perform queries for data of a given name, type, and class, and return an answer set. The low level classes allow direct manipulation of DNS zones, messages, names, and records.

dnspython originated at Nominum where it was developed to facilitate the testing of DNS software.

The stable version of dnspython is 1.16.0, released on December 8, 2018.

Python 2.x support ended with the release of 1.16.0.
