  Description     : Python3 module to get a domain suffix using the Public Suffix List

 This Python3 module allows you to get the public suffix of a domain name
 using the Public Suffix List from http://publicsuffix.org.
 .
 A public suffix is one under which Internet users can directly register
 names. Some examples of public suffixes are .com, .co.uk and pvt.k12.wy.us.
 Accurately knowing the public suffix of a domain is useful when handling
 web browser cookies, highlighting the most important part of a domain name
 in a user interface or sorting URLs by web site.
 .
 This module replaces the deprecated python3-publicsuffix package.

Upstream for python-publicsuffix recently published a new upstream
release recommending it not be used anymore.  This is one of the
recommended replacements.  Generally porting to the new lib is trivial
(changing imports from publicsuffix to publicsuffix2).

I maintain one of the two rdepends for python-publicsuffix in Debian and
I have already tested this replacement with it.

The package will be maintained in DPMT.
