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())
