python module for nslookup

Question

Is there a python-module that\'s doing the same stuff as nslookup does? I am planning to use nslookup on digging some information regarding the domain of a URL to be scrappe

Answer 1

I'm using the following code:

import socket

ip_list = []
ais = socket.getaddrinfo("www.yahoo.com",0,0,0,0)
for result in ais:
  ip_list.append(result[-1][0])
ip_list = list(set(ip_list))

Or using a comprehension as:

ip_list = list({addr[-1][0] for addr in socket.getaddrinfo(name, 0, 0, 0, 0)})
