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

the problem is that socket.gethostbyname() returns only one ip-address. nslookup returns as many as it has. I use:

import subprocess

process = subprocess.Popen(["nslookup", "www.google.com"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
output = process.communicate()[0].split('\n')

ip_arr = []
for data in output:
    if 'Address' in data:
        ip_arr.append(data.replace('Address: ',''))
ip_arr.pop(0)

print ip_arr

it will print:

['54.230.228.101', '54.230.228.6', '54.230.228.37', '54.230.228.80', '54.230.228.41', '54.230.228.114', '54.230.228.54', '54.230.228.23']
