Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : python-dns-lexicon Version : 2.1.18 Upstream Author : Jason Kulatunga * URL : https://github.com/AnalogJ/lexicon * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : A python library for manipulating DNS records in a standardized way
This is a python wrapper for a general purpose DNS API which is needed as a dependency for a number of Certbot DNS plugins. Packaging this will allow the Certbot cloudxns, dns-simple, dnsmadeeasy, nsone, and luadns plugins to be packaged. This is notable because DNS authentication is the only method in the ACME v2 spec that allows for the issuance of wildcard certificates - a much sought after feature. You can learn more about the relevant Certbot plugins here: https://github.com/certbot/certbot This package requires a sponsor, but should be able to be maintained by the normal python packaging team. This package will also need the tldextract python package to be packaged as well. I will submit an RFP for that package seperately.
