Lookup for MX and NS records

The pyUnbound extension provides functions which are able to encode RAW RDATA produces by unbound resolver (see unbound.ub_data).

#!/usr/bin/python
# vim:fileencoding=utf-8
#
# Lookup for MX and NS records
#
import unbound

ctx = unbound.ub_ctx()
ctx.resolvconf("/etc/resolv.conf")

status, result = ctx.resolve("nic.cz", unbound.RR_TYPE_MX, unbound.RR_CLASS_IN)
if status == 0 and result.havedata:
    print "Result:"
    print "      raw data:", result.data
    for k in result.data.mx_list:
        print "      priority:%d address:%s" % k

status, result = ctx.resolve("nic.cz", unbound.RR_TYPE_A, unbound.RR_CLASS_IN)
if status == 0 and result.havedata:
    print "Result:"
    print "      raw data:", result.data
    for k in result.data.address_list:
        print "      address:%s" % k

status, result = ctx.resolve("nic.cz", unbound.RR_TYPE_NS, unbound.RR_CLASS_IN)
if status == 0 and result.havedata:
    print "Result:"
    print "      raw data:", result.data
    for k in result.data.domain_list:
        print "      host: %s" % k

Previous example produces following output:

Result:
        raw data: 00 0F 05 6D 61 69 6C 34 03 6E 69 63 02 63 7A 00;00 14 02 6D 78 05 63 7A 6E 69 63 03 6F 72 67 00;00 0A 04 6D 61 69 6C 03 6E 69 63 02 63 7A 00
        priority:15 address: mail4.nic.cz.
        priority:20 address: mx.cznic.org.
        priority:10 address: mail.nic.cz.

Result:
        raw data: D9 1F CD 32
        address: 217.31.205.50

Result:
        raw data: 01 61 02 6E 73 03 6E 69 63 02 63 7A 00;01 65 02 6E 73 03 6E 69 63 02 63 7A 00;01 63 02 6E 73 03 6E 69 63 02 63 7A 00
