  Description     : Python module/library for retrieving WHOIS information of domains

This Python wrapper for the "whois" command has a simple interface to access parsed
WHOIS data for a given domain.
.
It is able to extract data for many of the popular TLDs (com, org, net, biz, info,
pl, jp, uk, nz, ...) and queries WHOIS servers directly instead of going through an
intermediate web service.
