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 2.4+ 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 ...
