|
|
|
Python 2.4 or higher, SWIG 1.3 or higher, GNU make
|
|
|
|
**Download**
|
|
|
|
You can download the source codes `here`_.
|
|
The latest release is 1.4.1, Jan 15, 2009.
|
|
|
|
.. _here: ldns-1.4.1-py.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
**Compiling**
|
|
|
|
After downloading, you can compile the library by doing::
|
|
|
|
> tar -xzf ldns-1.4.1-py.tar.gz
|
|
> cd ldns-1.4.1
|
|
> ./configure --with-pyldns
|
|
> make
|
|
|
|
You need GNU make to compile pyLDNS; SWIG and Python development libraries to compile extension module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Testing**
|
|
|
|
If the compilation is successfull, you can test the python LDNS extension module by::
|
|
|
|
> cd contrib/python
|
|
> make testenv
|
|
> ./ldns-mx.py
|
|
|
|
This will start a new shell, during which the symbolic links will be working.
|
|
When you exit the shell, then symbolic links will be deleted.
|
|
|
|
In ``contrib/examples`` you can find many simple applications in python which demostrates the capabilities of LDNS library.
