Ruby vs Python may be an aesthetic choice, but I hear people talk about the Python language whereas nobody talks about Ruby, they talk about the libraries. A meaningful distinction? I used to use Perl and I found the DNS library mostly bug-free and it wasn't that hard to hackerishly convert stuff to/from wire format. It was also relatively easy to code in C and call that (Inline::C). I use mostly Python now (no Ruby). I like the language much better. :-) dnspython is full-featured but the docs are difficult, "how do I?" is not intuitive, and it has bugs: Stack traces from unicode. Thick quotes around TXT record rvalues (yes this is a bug). It's quirky. Should be o.k. if I have to code in C, but I haven't needed to yet. (Code for the bug fixes? You'll have to talk to my employer about that.) -- Fred Morris _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list dns-operations@lists.dns-oarc.net https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
