In this article, we’ll perform DNS Lookups in Python using the ‘socket’ module and ‘socket.getaddrinfo()’ function for generating the domain information and converting it into an IP address while using the /etc/hosts files for storing the generated IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the domain. Prerequisites What is DNS lookup? Before learning what is DNS Lookup, …

The text file is one of the oldest and most efficient storage formats. Introduced way before to what we now know as the Comma Separated Value format (CSV), text files have been used because of their simplicity. They are saved with a txt extension (dAta.txt) and are mostly used to introduce file handling in various …

Turtle is a famous Python module that lets you have some fun with graphics. It is most widely used to design graphic User interface (GUI) applications. To put it simply, with Turtle, we can draw shapes, pictures, and even logos and customize them with different colors and sizes. Turtle is an animation and graphics development …
Epoch time, also known as Unix or POSIX time, is the standard time most computers use to determine the time after an epoch. Since computers can only understand 0s and 1s, we can’t really expect the computer to understand the date and time format we follow (for example, 01-12-2003). So the date and time are …

Python is one of few programming languages which escaped the normal trend of the programming language syntax and completely revolutionized the syntax pattern in programming languages. One of the most interesting leaps is the change in the for-loop syntax. The for loop in Python uses the in keyword and the built-in function range to iterate …

There are many types of variables. Based on its datatype, there are mainly three types of variables – predefined, derived, and user-defined. Python has a well-structured format for maintaining variables. Python describes all the variables as objects. There’s another basis on which variables can be differentiated – its scope. Based on their scope, the variables …
The struct method is used to create a packet of data in Python. This method is very similar to the transmission of electric signals. The signals are encoded first and then transmitted to another place. The Python language provides a different alternative to the struct method, i.e., byte() function, bytearray() function, and bitwise operators. In …
The F-string is a formatting technique that allows Python programmers to format strings quickly and easily. By adding the letter ‘f’ as a prefix in the syntax, developers can utilize this popular method for its efficient execution and straightforward syntax. Its convenience surpasses alternatives such as the str. format() method or % formatting. This narrative …
