* Package name : python-publicsuffix2 Version : 2.20191221 Upstream Author : nexB Inc. <i...@nexb.com> * URL : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/publicsuffix2 * License : Expat Programming Lang: Python, Description : Python3 module to get a domain suffix using the Public Suffix List This Python3 module allows you to get the public suffix of a domain name using the Public Suffix List from http://publicsuffix.org. . A public suffix is one under which Internet users can directly register names. Some examples of public suffixes are .com, .co.uk and pvt.k12.wy.us. Accurately knowing the public suffix of a domain is useful when handling web browser cookies, highlighting the most important part of a domain name in a user interface or sorting URLs by web site. . This module replaces the deprecated python3-publicsuffix package. Upstream for python-publicsuffix recently published a new upstream release recommending it not be used anymore. This is one of the recommended replacements. Generally porting to the new lib is trivial (changing imports from publicsuffix to publicsuffix2). I maintain one of the two rdepends for python-publicsuffix in Debian and I have already tested this replacement with it. The package will be maintained in DPMT. Scott K
