Installation ============ Prerequisites ------------- Python 2.4 or higher, SWIG 1.3 or higher, GNU make Compiling --------- After downloading, you can compile the pyUnbound library by doing:: > tar -xzf unbound-x.x.x-py.tar.gz > cd unbound-x.x.x > ./configure --with-pyunbound > make You may want to enable ``--with-pythonmodule`` as well if you want to use python as a module in the resolver. You need ``GNU make`` to compile sources; ``SWIG`` and ``Python devel`` libraries to compile extension module. Testing ------- If the compilation is successful, you can test the python LDNS extension module by:: > cd contrib/python > make testenv > ./dns-lookup.py You may want to ``make install`` in the main directory since ``make testenv`` is for debugging. In contrib/examples you can find simple applications written in Python using the Unbound extension. |
