  12     <h1>python-rwhoisd</h1>
  13   </div>
  14   <p><strong>python-rwhoisd</strong> is a simple <a
  15   href="http://www.rwhois.net">RWhois</a> server (see <a
  16   href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2167">RFC 2167</a> written in <a
  17   href="http://www.python.org">python</a>.</p>
  18
  19   <p>It uses in-memory data structures, and it intuits the schema
  20   based on the data it sees.  The server takes as input
  21   a <a href="current/sample_data/example_schema">schema file</a> which
  22   just describes which attributes should be indexed (and how), and
  23   data files which are similar to the C rwhoisd's data files.</p>
  24
  25   <p>This version supports a sort of extended query syntax: IP or CIDR
  26   queries ending in "**" will result in a "subnet" search, where all
  27   of the found subnets at or below the specified network will be
  28   returned.  Ending a IP or CIDR query with a single "*" will result
  29   in a "supernet" search, returning all the networks enclosing the
  30   queried network.  (A plain network query will return the closest
  31   enclosing network, including matching networks).</p>
  32
  33   <p>Because this is a simple RWhois server, it doesn't implement
  34   every possible feature.  In particular, it doesn't handle
  35   "-register" directives (which make it possible to add/modify data
  36   via the RWhois protocol itself).  Right now, the only way to update
  37   the data served by a python-rwhoisd server is to edit the data files
  38   and restart.</p>
