A Python package for retrieving WHOIS information of domains.
- 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, org, net, biz, info, pl, jp, uk, nz, ...).
- Query a WHOIS server directly instead of going through an intermediate web service like many others do.
- Works with Python 3.x.
- All dates as datetime objects.
- Possibility to cache results.
