socket.gethostbyaddr problem

[jepler at unpythonic.net]

Perhaps you mean to use the function socket.gethostbyname instead.

>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyaddr("www.google.ca")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
socket.herror: (1, 'Unknown host')
>>> socket.gethostbyname("www.google.ca")
'64.233.167.147'
