By DDarko http://ddarko.org/

Features

• Python wrapper for Linux "whois" command
• simple interface to access parsed WHOIS data for a given domain
• able to extract data for all the popular TLDs (com, net, org, uk, pl, ru, рф, lv, jp, co_jp, de, at, eu, biz, info, online, center, support, name, us, co, me, be, nz, cz, it, fr, kg, vc, fm, tv, edu, ca, pw, bid, host, party, pro, review, site, space, top, website, win)
• query a WHOIS server directly instead of going through an intermediate web service like many others do
• works with Python 2.4+ and Python 3.x
• all dates as datetime objects
• possibility to cache results

Usage example

import whois domain = whois.query('google.com')

print(domain.dict) { 'expiration_date': datetime.datetime(2020, 9, 14, 0, 0), 'last_updated': datetime.datetime(2011, 7, 20, 0, 0), 'registrar': 'MARKMONITOR INC.', 'name': 'google.com', 'creation_date': datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 15, 0, 0) }

print(domain.name) google.com

print(domain.expiration_date) 2020-09-14 00:00:00
