This package is a Debian packaging of the Python 3 port of python-adns, found at >https://mentors.debian.net/sponsors/rfs-howto/python3-adns, with minor fixes. My sources are at https://github.com/dreibh/python3-adns/ . I needed a Python 3 port >of python-adns, so I packaged this port. It is probably useful for other Debian users as well.

Merging the Python 3 modifications into the Python 2 code would mean to make a lot of changes to the stable Python 2 code. There is a high likeliness that the currently stable Python 2 code would not work correctly in some rare cases any more. So, it is better to leave the stable Python 2 package as is, and create a separate Python 3 package -- as it is also done for a lot of other packages.
