Exception: For check the mx records or check if the email exists you must have installed pyDNS python package

I have installed pydns several times and from different ways and nothing. I'm using OSX 10.9.3

Try reinstalling PyDNS and take a look at the output. Then run python -c "import sys; print sys.path" and make sure PyDNS is being installed into one of the paths listed. If not, check your $PATH and make sure you're using the correct python interpreter.

I have install py3dns but getting same error running on python 3

I am facing the same problem. I checked python -c "import sys; print sys.path" and PyDNS is installed into one of the listed path. But still its not working.

I ran into this error after trying a different method of validation in which i needed to downgrade my package.

I was able to fix it by doing the following:

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pyDNS

Hope this helps

EDIT: Try these if does not work Python 3+ pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall pyDNS pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall py3DNS
