Resolve a Hostname to an IP Address

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.DnsLookup, which resolves a hostname and returns one numeric IP address.

import sys
import chilkat

socket = chilkat.CkSocket()

#  Resolve a hostname to a numeric IP address, waiting up to 5 seconds.
ipAddress = socket.dnsLookup("example.com",5000)
if (socket.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(socket.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Resolved IP address: " + ipAddress)
