Exampling with a previous answer, create the dnsdig.py file with:

import sys
import socket
import dns.resolver

print 'Argument List:', str(sys.argv)
site = sys.argv[1]
dns_server = sys.argv[2]

# Basic CNAME query the host's DNS
for rdata in dns.resolver.query(site, 'CNAME') :
    print rdata.target

# Basic A query the host's DNS
for rdata in dns.resolver.query(site, 'A') :
    print rdata.address

# Setting an specific DNS Server
resolver = dns.resolver.Resolver()
resolver.nameservers = [socket.gethostbyname(dns_server)]

# Basic CNAME query with the specific DNS server
answer = resolver.query(site, 'CNAME');
for rdata in answer :
    print rdata.target

# Basic A query with the specific DNS server
answer = resolver.query(site, 'A');
for rdata in answer :
    print rdata.address
