dnszone 2.0.2

dnszone

========

Overview

This package is forked from Easyzone,

created by Chris Miles. I have forked it to include bugfixes for installation

and also to update the package for compatibility with Python 3.

DNSZone is a package to manage the common record types of a

zone file, including SOA records. This module sits on top of

the dnspython package and provides a higher level abstraction

for common zone file manipulation use cases.

Main features:

• A high-level abstraction on top of dnspython.

• Load a zone file into objects.

• Modify/add/delete zone/record objects.

• Save back to zone file.

• Auto-update serial (if necessary).
