sopel-tld

Top-level domain (TLD) info plugin for Sopel IRC bots.

Installing

Releases are hosted on PyPI, so after installing Sopel, all you need is pip:

$ pip install sopel-tld

Using

This plugin provides the .tld command, which can be used to look up a top-level domain with or without the leading .:

<dgw> .tld .net
<Sopel> [tld] Name: .net | Entity: network | Administrator: Verisign | IDN: Yes
        | DNSSEC: Yes | SLD: Yes | IPv6: Yes | Notes: This is an open TLD; any
        person or entity is permitted to register. According to RFC 1591 (March
        1994) "This domain is intended to hold only the computers of network
        providers."

<dgw> .tld mil
<Sopel> [tld] Name: .mil | Entity: U.S. military | Administrator: United States
        Department of Defense | IDN: No | DNSSEC: Yes | SLD: Yes | IPv6: Yes |
        Notes: The .mil TLD is restricted to departments, services and agencies
        of the United States Department of Defense.

Most data is sourced from the English Wikipedia, so code updates might be required periodically as their table format evolves.

Changelog

0.1.3

Fixed:

• Send a proper user agent with requests to Wikipedia [#5]

0.1.2

Fixed:

• Lists in fields (e.g. ccTLD "domain hacks") are parsed correctly with a separator added between items (item 1, item 2 vs. item 1item2) [#4]

0.1.1

Fixed:

• English-language ICANN era gTLDs got moved to a separate page; parse that too.

0.1.0

First release of sopel-tld, based on the built-in tld plugin from Sopel 8.0.

Compared to the built-in plugin, this release contains a simple fix for some ccTLD output errors caused by new <style> tags in the Wikipedia markup.
