Oracle Drags Its Feet in the JavaScript Trademark Dispute
Oracle seeks to dismiss fraud claims in the JavaScript trademark dispute, delaying the case and avoiding questions about its right to the name.

aiodns provides a simple way for doing asynchronous DNS resolutions using pycares <https://github.com/saghul/pycares>
_.
.. code:: python
import asyncio
import aiodns
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
resolver = aiodns.DNSResolver(loop=loop)
async def query(name, query_type):
return await resolver.query(name, query_type)
coro = query('google.com', 'A')
result = loop.run_until_complete(coro)
The following query types are supported: A, AAAA, ANY, CAA, CNAME, MX, NAPTR, NS, PTR, SOA, SRV, TXT.
The API is pretty simple, three functions are provided in the DNSResolver
class:
query(host, type)
: Do a DNS resolution of the given type for the given hostname. It returns an
instance of asyncio.Future
. The actual result of the DNS query is taken directly from pycares.
As of version 1.0.0 of aiodns (and pycares, for that matter) results are always namedtuple-like
objects with different attributes. Please check the documentation <http://pycares.readthedocs.org/en/latest/channel.html#pycares.Channel.query>
_
for the result fields.gethostbyname(host, socket_family)
: Do a DNS resolution for the given
hostname and the desired type of address family (i.e. socket.AF_INET
).
While query()
always performs a request to a DNS server,
gethostbyname()
first looks into /etc/hosts
and thus can resolve
local hostnames (such as localhost
). Please check the documentation <http://pycares.readthedocs.io/en/latest/channel.html#pycares.Channel.gethostbyname>
_
for the result fields. The actual result of the call is a asyncio.Future
.gethostbyaddr(name)
: Make a reverse lookup for an address.cancel()
: Cancel all pending DNS queries. All futures will get DNSError
exception set, with
ARES_ECANCELLED
errno.This library requires the asyncio loop to be a SelectorEventLoop
, which is not the default on Windows since
Python 3.8.
The default can be changed as follows (do this very early in your application):
.. code:: python
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())
This may have other implications for the rest of your codebase, so make sure to test thoroughly.
To run the test suite: python tests.py
