twisted.names.root.Resolver : API documentation

Instance Variable	hints	A `list` of `str` giving the dotted quad representation of IP addresses of root servers at which to begin resolving names.
Method	__init__	Undocumented
Instance Variable	_maximumQueries	A `int` giving the maximum number of queries which will be attempted to resolve a single name.
Instance Variable	_reactor	A `IReactorTime` and `IReactorUDP` provider to use to bind UDP ports and manage timeouts.
Method	_roots	Return a list of two-tuples representing the addresses of the root servers, as defined by `self.hints`.
Method	_query	Issue one query and return a `Deferred` which fires with its response.

def _query(self, query, servers, timeout, filter): (source)

Issue one query and return a Deferred which fires with its response.

Parameters	query	The query to issue. (type: `dns.Query`)
	servers	The servers which might have an answer for this query. (type: `list` of `tuple` of `str` and `int`)
	timeout	A timeout on how long to wait for the response. (type: `tuple` of `int`)
	filter	A flag indicating whether to filter the results. If `True`, the returned `Deferred` will fire with a three-tuple of lists of `RRHeaders` (like the return value of the lookup* methods of `IResolver`. IF `False`, the result will be a `Message` instance. (type: `bool`)
Returns	A `Deferred` which fires with the response or a timeout error. (type: `Deferred`)

def _discoverAuthority(self, query, servers, timeout, queriesLeft): (source)

Issue a query to a server and follow a delegation if necessary.

Parameters	query	The query to issue. (type: `dns.Query`)
	servers	The servers which might have an answer for this query. (type: `list` of `tuple` of `str` and `int`)
	timeout	A `tuple` of `int` giving the timeout to use for this query.
	queriesLeft	A `int` giving the number of queries which may yet be attempted to answer this query before the attempt will be abandoned.
Returns	A `Deferred` which fires with a three-tuple of lists of `RRHeaders` giving the response, or with a `Failure` if there is a timeout or response error.

def _discoveredAuthority(self, response, query, timeout, queriesLeft): (source)

Interpret the response to a query, checking for error codes and following delegations if necessary.

Parameters	response	The `Message` received in response to issuing `query`. (type: `Message`)
	query	The `dns.Query` which was issued. (type: `dns.Query`.)
	timeout	The timeout to use if another query is indicated by this response. (type: `tuple` of `int`)
	queriesLeft	A `int` giving the number of queries which may yet be attempted to answer this query before the attempt will be abandoned.
Returns	A `Failure` indicating a response error, a three-tuple of lists of `RRHeaders` giving the response to `query` or a `Deferred` which will fire with one of those.
