PyBINDUtils - Justin Boswell <jwb@ultrazone.org>
A suite of Python libraries designed to make interactions with BIND zonefiles less painful. This is an early release of the package, with an example script and the basic parser and writer libraries, as well as the common data objects needed to work with DNS records.
This library grew out of a need to convert a few hundred zonefiles of varying formats into a common format that was clean, human readable, and correct.
See the example converter.py script, which takes in a zonefile and its origin and spits out a cleaned up version of the same zonefile with a new serial and in the format chosen by the user.
Currently the library supports SOA, NS, MX, A, and CNAME records. Support for the other record types will likely be forthcoming.
INSTALLATION
Installing this is as simple as copying the BINDUtils folder into your local
Python site-packages directory. You could also use the library directly by
placing it in the same directory as your script.
TESTING
To see what PyBINDUtils can do, try the following with the messy example
zonefile included in this package:
python converter.py example.com example.com
Then compare example.com and example.com.new
