How do I resolve an SRV record in Python?

Question

Something which doesn\'t rely on native libraries would be better.

Answer 1

Using dnspython:

>>> import dns.resolver
>>> domain='jabberzac.org'
>>> srvInfo = {}
>>> srv_records=dns.resolver.query('_xmpp-client._tcp.'+domain, 'SRV')
>>> for srv in srv_records:
...     srvInfo['weight']   = srv.weight
...     srvInfo['host']     = str(srv.target).rstrip('.')
...     srvInfo['priority'] = srv.priority
...     srvInfo['port']     = srv.port
... 
>>> print srvInfo
{'priority': 0, 'host': 'xmpp.jabberzac.org', 'port': 5222, 'weight': 0}
