dns.query.inbound_xfr

hi-

i'm having an experience similar to discussion #824. i have the following: https://gist.github.com/junkb/1d66a2d7de99bb13ce19ca8abc368ea2 , and like @bjabson, it appears to work [a packet capture confirms the zone transfer succeeds], but i'm struggling to understand what to do with zone_transfer_result. what am i missing to [for example] print the zone data to stdout?

thanks!

It updates the zone object you gave it, so just use the zone object's various interfaces to get at the data. For example, here's printing the zone:

z = dns.zone.Zone("example")
dns.query.inbound_xfr("127.0.0.1", z)
for n in sorted(z.nodes.keys()):
print(z[n].to_text(n))

(The "update a zone object" design lets us support incremental zone transfers as well as regular zone transfers.)

thanks! i was overcomplicating it :)
