I'm trying to create a simple app that will allow me to run a whois, but I've hit a road block.

>>> w = pywhois.whois('google.com')
>>> print w
creation_date: []
domain_name: []
emails: []
...

I'm about 99% sure that I'm not getting any results because running:

$ whois google

fails due to multiple records but running "=xxx" will run a single record.

I can run a search this way using python-whois:

>>> w = whois.query('=google.com')

My solution would be sticking with python-whois but pywhois returns much more information.

Has anyone run into this before or have a work around for running a single record in pywhois?

  • Interesting that this snippet doesn't work since it is the lone example given on the pywhois project website. [code.google.com](http://code.google.com/p/pywhois/) – chucksmash Aug 20 '12 at 14:52
  • @IamChuckB that is why I was very confused. I came up with a hack work-around for the time being, by getting the IP and running it through a reverse lookup and doing a whois on that. Seems to be working for far. – user1607772 Aug 20 '12 at 20:37
