Installation¶
Requirements¶
Python 3.6 or later.
Installation¶
Many free operating system distributions have dnspython packaged for you, so you should check there first.
The next easiest option is to use pip
:
pip install dnspython
If pip
is not available, you can download the latest zip file from
PyPI, unzip it.
On a UNIX-like system, you then run:
sudo python setup.py install
while on a Windows system you would run:
python setup.py install
Finally, you have the option of cloning the dnspython source from github and building it:
git clone https://github.com/rthalley/dnspython.git
And then run setup.py
as above.
Please be aware that the master branch of dnspython on github is under active development and may not always be stable.
Optional Modules¶
The following modules are optional, but recommended for full functionality.
If requests
and requests-toolbelt
are installed, then DNS-over-HTTPS

If cryptography
is installed, then dnspython will be
able to do low-level DNSSEC RSA, DSA, ECDSA and EdDSA signature validation.
If idna
