=============================== Simple DNS resolver for asyncio

aiodns provides a simple way for doing asynchronous DNS resolutions using pycares <https://github.com/saghul/pycares>_.

Example

.. code:: python

import asyncio
import aiodns

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
resolver = aiodns.DNSResolver(loop=loop)

async def query(name, query_type):
    return await resolver.query(name, query_type)

coro = query('google.com', 'A')
result = loop.run_until_complete(coro)

The following query types are supported: A, AAAA, ANY, CAA, CNAME, MX, NAPTR, NS, PTR, SOA, SRV, TXT.

API

The API is pretty simple, three functions are provided in the DNSResolver class:

Note for Windows users

This library requires the asyncio loop to be a SelectorEventLoop, which is not the default on Windows since Python 3.8.

The default can be changed as follows (do this very early in your application):

.. code:: python

asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())

This may have other implications for the rest of your codebase, so make sure to test thoroughly.

Running the test suite

To run the test suite: python tests.py
