ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dnspython'

Question

I am trying to import the module dnspython in a python 3.6 script using import dnspython.

pip3 freeze shows that the package is installed but I keep getting the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dnspython'

I have tried:

pip3 install dnspython
uninstalling and reinstalling with pip3
pip3 install git+https://github.com/rthalley/dnspython
Cloning the package from github and installing with sudo python setup.py install
pip3 install dnspython3 and using import dnspython3 in the script
Copying the dns folder of the cloned package in the site-packages folder

I am aware of this post for python 2.7 but none of the solutions worked.

Answer 1

The problem was import dnspython. Changing it into import dns worked fine.

Some test code:

import dns

result = dns.resolver.query('google.com', 'A')
for ipval in result:
    print('IP', ipval.to_text())

# Output: IP {your ip}

Answer 2

It worked for me (Python 3.8.5):

pip install dnspython3

code:

import dns
from dns import resolver 

result = resolver.resolve('google.com')
for ipval in result:
    print('IP', ipval.to_text())

Answer 3

IS DNSPython safe to use or if any vulnerablities?
