Thank you Chris Rebert, Actually i tried with domain specific logic.Having 200 TLD like .com,co.in,co.uk and tried to extract the domain name. But my boss want more reliable solution than this method,any way i will try to find some alternative solution. -- Yours, S.Selvam -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
