This is a great tutorial. I just want to add an example for PTR records:

hostname='foo.example.net.'
target='123'
zone = dns.zone.from_file(f='0.10.10.rev', origin='0.10.10.in-addr.arpa')
rdataset = zone.find_rdataset(target, rdtype=PTR, create=True)
rdata = dns.rdtypes.ANY.PTR.PTR(IN, PTR, dns.name.Name(hostname.split('.')))
rdataset.add(rdata, ttl=86400)

The above will add:
123 86400 IN PTR foo.example.net.
to the zone

Hello, I have a issue with cname add exemple.
In my test at the line:
rdata = dns.rdtypes.ANY.CNAME.CNAME(IN, CNAME, target)

I have this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 57, in
rdata = dns.rdtypes.ANY.CNAME.CNAME(IN, CNAME, target)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'CNAME'

I am in centos6 with:
python-dns-1.11.1-2.el6.noarch
Python 2.6.6

Someone have a idea ?

This is great stuff - Thanks! I was wondering if you could post something on how to take a text file with about 100 domains in it, and then print the A records into another file or on the screen? Thanks!

to update a cname:

target = dns.name.from_text("mail.example.com")
rdataset = zone.find_rdataset("mail", rdtype="CNAME")

for rdata in rdataset:
rdata.target = target

to update ns:
rdataset = zone.find_rdataset("@", rdtype="NS")
for rdata in rdataset:
if str(rdata.target) == "ns1.foo.com.": # old ns
rdata.target = dns.name.from_text("ns1.example.com")
elif str(rdata.target) == "ns2.foo.com.": # old ns
rdata.target = dns.name.from_text("ns2.example.com")
