Overview
This is a Python wrapper for the ldns C library. It has basically been ripped out of the original ldns distribution (contrib/python/) and packaged using distutils. That way you can simply use pip or easy_install to install it.
This wrapper will be dynamically linked against your already installed ldns. It might or might not work according to the version you have installed, see below.
Installation
Requirements
- You need the ldns (tested with 1.6.17) library and its header files installed. See below for instructions to do just that.
- You need the python development headers
- You need swig. It might just already be installed on your system
Debian/Ubuntu
Disclaimer: Debian Wheezy includes ldns 1.6.13. I did not test that version, it will probably not work. You might have to compile ldns yourself. See the ldns documentation for that. Debian Sid however is fine.
sudo apt-get install libldns1 libldns-dev python-dev
sudo apt-get install swig
Arch Linux
pacman -S ldns
pacman -S swig
Downloading
To be written
Installation
If you downloaded this whole thing: python setup.py install
Or use pip for great easyness: pip install ldns
TODO
- Test with other distributions
- Test with Python3
