Error installing pydns

Question

While trying to install pydns module i am getting this error:

C:\Windows\system32>pip install pydns
Collecting pydns
  Using cached pydns-2.3.6.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\Shiva\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-294324_x\pydns\

I tried pip install py3dns as well but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

You are using the wrong version of python. pydns is not supported for python 3. pydns works for python2.7

For python3 use pip3 install py3DNS

Answer 2

The pydns is not supported with Python 3. You need to use python 2.7 to work with it.
