Python module for retrieving WHOIS information of domains

pywhois

A Python module for retrieving WHOIS information of domains.

This project has been cloned from http://code.google.com/p/pywhois/

Goal

• Create a simple importable Python module which will produce parsed WHOIS data for a given domain.
• Able to extract data for all the popular TLDs (com, org, net, ...)
• Query a WHOIS server directly instead of going through an intermediate web service like many others do.
• Works with Python 3+ and no external dependencies

Example

>>> import pywhois
>>> w = pywhois.whois('google.com')
>>> w.expiration_date
['14-sep-2011']
>>> w.emails
['[e-mail]',
 '[e-mail]',
 '[e-mail]',
 '[e-mail]']
>>> print w
...
