dnszone
========
Overview
--------
This package is forked from [Easyzone](https://bitbucket.org/chrismiles/easyzone),
created by Chris Miles. I have forked it to include bugfixes for installation
and also to update the package for compatibility with Python 3.
DNSZone is a package to manage the common record types of a
zone file, including SOA records. This module sits on top of
the dnspython package and provides a higher level abstraction
for common zone file manipulation use cases.
Main features:
* A high-level abstraction on top of dnspython.
* Load a zone file into objects.
* Modify/add/delete zone/record objects.
* Save back to zone file.
* Auto-update serial (if necessary).

>>> z.domain
'example.com.'

2007012902L
>>> z.root.records('NS').items
['ns1.example.com.', 'ns2.example.com.']
>>> z.root.records('MX').items
[(10, 'mail.example.com.'), (20, 'mail2.example.com.')]
>>> z.names['foo.example.com.'].records('A').items
['10.0.0.1']
>>> ns = z.root.records('NS')
>>> ns.add('ns3.example.com.')
>>> ns.items
['ns1.example.com.', 'ns2.example.com.', 'ns3.example.com.']
>>> ns.delete('ns2.example.com')
>>> ns.items
['ns1.example.com.', 'ns3.example.com.']
>>> z.save(autoserial=True)
```
ZoneCheck::
```
>>> from dnszone.zone_check import ZoneCheck
>>> c = ZoneCheck()
>>> c.isValid('example.com', '/var/named/zones/example.com')
True
>>> c.isValid('foo.com', '/var/named/zones/example.com')
False
>>> c.error

>>> c = ZoneCheck(checkzone='/usr/sbin/named-checkzone')
>>> c.isValid('example.com', '/var/named/zones/example.com')
True
>>>
```
ZoneReload::
```
>>> from dnszone.zone_reload import ZoneReload
>>> r = ZoneReload()
>>> r.reload('example.com')
zone reload up-to-date
>>> r.reload('foo.com')
rndc: 'reload' failed: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
