Description-en: Python module for retrieving WHOIS information - Python 2
This Python wrapper for the "whois" command has a simple interface to access
parsed WHOIS data for a given domain.
.
It is able to extract data for many of the popular TLDs (com, org, net, biz,
info, pl, jp, uk, nz, ...) and queries WHOIS servers directly instead of
going through an intermediate web service.
.
This package provides Python 2 module bindings only.
