pure-python-whois
The aim of this package is to provide a feature-complete pure Python implementation for whois. While e.g. pywhois comes with a pure Python implementation, it only uses this implementation as a fallback preferring the system implementation over the pure Python one. Furthermore, the pure Python implementation is experimental and rather limited in its features.
The pure-python-whois started as a transliteration of Marco d'Itri's whois client (written in C) which comes with most Linux distributions. The feature set was largely transferred and more recent revisions have focused on making the code more pythonic.
Pull requests welcome.
