Dyn53 is tested against python versions 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5.

2016-07-26 00:42:31,707 - dyn53 - DEBUG - FQDN is already pointing at 52.37.72.89

Notes

• If no address is passed as argument ([-a address]), ipify.org service will be checked via https to resolve the current public IP address.
• dyn53 is lazy, if the domain is already pointing to the resolved or given address, it wont update the record.
