Hello,
I am trying to figure out the whois function to use within zope.
I have a form trough which I can add the domain and suffix, but I can't
seem to get it working, either with an external method or a python script.

Also the whoistools-0.1.0, don't seem to work correctly, I get this error
when testing through python

Python 2.1.1 (#1, Aug 25 2001, 04:19:08)
[GCC 3.0.1] on sunos5
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import whois
>>> print whois.Whois("python.org")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "whois.py", line 80, in Whois
    sock.connect(server, port)
TypeError: connect() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

although if I do

>>> print whois.Server("python.org")
whois.crsnic.net
>>>

It works!!!

Any help would be much appreciated

Regards

Norman
