Using the PyDNS library found in Python Package Index and hosted at SourceForge, some code snippets for usage:

>>> import DNS
>>> DNS.DiscoverNameServers()
>>> reqobj = DNS.Request(name="blog.rayfoo.info")
>>> resp = reqobj.req()

>>> for i in resp.answers: print i
...

'typename': 'A', 'classstr': 'IN', 'ttl': 1790, 'type': 1,
'class': 1, 'rdlength': 4}

>>> resp.show()
; <<>> PDG.py 1.0 <<>> blog.rayfoo.info 1

Restarting learning of Python for upcoming project, stay tuned.

Disappointed with this world, where everyone is so focused on him/herself that only things get noticed when 1) it’s done by him/herself, especially when extraordinary, and 2) it’s not done by someone else who should be doing it, and causes inconvenience to oneself.

That’s the kind of world that gives birth to and rewards those who crow about their own accomplishments every now and then. The more often/louder, the better.

Edit: Aren’t I thinking the same way when I complain? Urgh.
