Simple Python 3 tools for managing websites.
Download a zip file of the latest version from https://github.com/B3ginnersMind/webdev/zipball/main/
Download and unzip this zip file e.g. from a console using curl (use curl.exe in Powershell):
curl -L -o webdev.zip https://github.com/B3ginnersMind/webdev/zipball/main/
unzip webdev.zip
Go to the newly created subfolder B3ginnersMind-webdev-xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the tag of the downloaded revision. Copy the content to the desired location.
This is especially useful if you want to update webdev. Get the download script:
curl -LJO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/B3ginnersMind/webdev/main/download_webdev.py
This script requires the Python "requests" package to perform the download.
- Run download_webdev.py.
- The archive is then downloaded and unzipped.
- You will be asked whether you want to run the install script.
- If you run the install script, only the python files will be updated.
- This means that the readme and the sample files will not be copied.
- You can run install_webdev.py any time when you want to copy the python files again.
- Requires at least dnspython 2.x.
- Queries DNS records of a list of domains.
- Writes the results to text files.
- Show help with option -h and version with -v.
- exampleDomains.txt is a demo domain file.
