That said, even though DNS is a publicly documented standard, I've
reached for DNS code in the Python stdlib on multiple occasions
(usually to try and snag the MX record for a customer, so smtplib can
send stuff to it), and get disappointed each time.  I'd really love
if there was a simple DNS-lookup module available in the stdlib,
especially if it allowed overriding the server to ask.  I mean...POP,
IMAP and SMTP are all publicly documented standards that Python makes
easily accessible.  DNS would be a good addition.
