Installation
============
Prerequisites
-------------
Python 2.4 or higher, SWIG 1.3 or higher, GNU make
Compiling
---------
After downloading, you can compile the pyUnbound library by doing::
> tar -xzf unbound-x.x.x-py.tar.gz
> cd unbound-x.x.x
> ./configure --with-pyunbound
> make
You may want to enable ``--with-pythonmodule`` as well if you want to use
python as a module in the resolver.
You need ``GNU make`` to compile sources; ``SWIG`` and ``Python devel``
libraries to compile extension module.
Testing
-------
If the compilation is successful, you can test the python LDNS extension module
by::
> cd contrib/python
> make testenv
> ./dns-lookup.py
You may want to ``make install`` in the main directory since ``make testenv``
is for debugging. In contrib/examples you can find simple applications written
in Python using the Unbound extension.
