1.. _example_resolve_name: 2 3Resolve a name 4============== 5 6This basic example shows how to create a context and resolve a host address 7(DNS record of A type). 8 9Source code 10----------- 11 12:: 13 14 #!/usr/bin/python 15 import unbound 16 17 ctx = unbound.ub_ctx() 18 ctx.resolvconf("/etc/resolv.conf") 19 20 status, result = ctx.resolve("www.google.com") 21 if status == 0 and result.havedata: 22 print "Result.data:", result.data.address_list 23 elif status != 0: 24 print "Resolve error:", unbound.ub_strerror(status) 25 26In contrast with the C API, the source code is more compact while the 27performance of C implementation is preserved. 28The main advantage is that you need not take care about the deallocation and 29allocation of context and result structures; pyUnbound module does it 30automatically for you. 31 32If only domain name is given, the :meth:`unbound.ub_ctx.resolve` looks for 33A records in IN class. 34
