I did speak too soon on this. When I run the script using the code at the end,
I get:
rwhois.py:327: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated
raise 'NoSuchDomain', self.domain
===================
def lookup(self):
"""
Looks up each word in our list with whois
"""
"""
Using rwhois, which is either broken or lacks most data:
"""
from rwhois import WhoisRecord
who = WhoisRecord()
self.totalchecked = 0
self.availdomains = []
for potdomain in self.potdomains:
try:
who.whois(potdomain)
self.availdomains.append(potdomain)
except 'NoSuchDomain':
pass
self.totalchecked+=1
def printresults(self):
"""
Prints the ones that do not seem to be taken, with some stats.
"""
print "Results are in! "
print "%s total words checked, as .com and .net domains." %
(self.totalchecked / 2)
print "----------------------"
print "Domains that seem to be available: \n"
for availdomain in self.availdomains:
print availdomain
print "\n"
print "----------------------"
====================
Then, I get back items in the list such as:
Domains that seem to be available:
AA.com
AARP.com
AARP.net
I confirmed in spotchecking that some of these are taken, such as with whois -H
AARP.com:
Domain Name: AARP.COM
Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC.
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
This may, however, be something else wrong with my code, or the rwhois module,
not the try, except check.
