IPInfo Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The IPInfo class is used to resolve host names to host addresses and vice versa using an asynchronous DNS. The class provides access to other Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP database functions as well.
Syntax
class ipworks.IPInfo
Remarks
The IPInfo class operates asynchronously. Requests are posted to the class by setting a property like host_name or host_address and then waiting for the on_request_complete event. The request_id property identifies the request.
Up to 100 simultaneous requests can be queued at any moment. pending_requests shows the number of pending requests and also may be used to adjust the size of the queue (by dumping a number of the pending requests).

This method will return a string with information about the DNS cache. In addition the on_dns_cache_entry event will fire once per cached entry.
The returned value is in the following format:
docs.google.com ---------------------------------------- Record Name . . . . . : docs.google.com Record Type . . . . . : 1(A) Time To Live . . . . : 48 Data Length . . . . . : 4 Section . . . . . . . : Answer A Record . . . . . . : 216.58.218.238
Note: This functionality is only available in Windows.
do_events Method
This method processes events from the internal message queue.
Syntax
def do_events() -> None: ...
Remarks
When do_events is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.
flush_dns_cache Method
This method flushes the DNS cache.
Syntax
def flush_dns_cache() -> bool: ...
Remarks
This method flushes the DNS cache for the system.
Note: This functionality is only available in Windows.
get_mac Method
This method returns the MAC address of the network interface at IPAddress .
Syntax
def get_mac(ip_address: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
This method returns the unique Media Access Control (MAC) address of the network interface at IPAddress.
Note: This functionality is only available in Windows.
reset Method
This method resets the class, stopping all pending requests and refreshing network information.
Syntax
def reset() -> None: ...
Remarks
This method resets the class, stopping all pending requests and refreshing network information. If the network configuration has changed, call this method to retrieve the latest information.
resolve_address Method
This method resolves an IP address.
Syntax
def resolve_address(host_address: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
This method resolves the IP address HostAddress and sets host_name to the name of the host corresponding to HostAddress.
Calling this method is equivalent to setting the host_address property to HostAddress.
Example. Resolve an Address:
IPInfoControl.ResolveAddress ("10.0.1.10")
While (IPInfoControl.PendingRequests > 0)
IPInfoControl.DoEvents
Wend
Debug.Print IPInfoControl.HostName
resolve_name Method
This method resolves a host name.
Syntax
def resolve_name(host_name: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
This method resolves the host name HostName and sets host_address to the IP address of the host corresponding to HostName.
Calling this method is equivalent to setting the host_name property to HostName.
Example. Resolve a Name:
IPInfoControl.ResolveName ("MyHostName")
While (IPInfoControl.PendingRequests > 0)
IPInfoControl.DoEvents
Wend
Debug.Print IPInfoControl.HostAddress
on_dns_cache_entry Event
This event fires once for each cached DNS entry.
Syntax
class IPInfoDNSCacheEntryEventParams(object): @property def record_name() -> str: ... @property def record_type() -> int: ... @property def time_to_live() -> int: ... @property def data_length() -> int: ... @property def section() -> str: ... @property def record_value() -> str: ... @property def record_info() -> str: ... # In class IPInfo: @property def on_dns_cache_entry() -> Callable[[IPInfoDNSCacheEntryEventParams], None]: ... @on_dns_cache_entry.setter def on_dns_cache_entry(event_hook: Callable[[IPInfoDNSCacheEntryEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
This event fires once for each entry in the local DNS cache when display_dns_cache is called.
RecordName is the host name to which the record applies.
RecordType is the type of response. For instance 1 is an A record.
TimeToLive is the time in seconds after which the cached entry expires.
DataLength is the length of the data in bytes. For instance, if the RecordType is A and an IPv4 address is cached, its DataLength would be 4. CNAME and PTR records will contain the length of the address in memory where the value is held.
Section is the section of the DNS response from which the record is taken. Most commonly, this is the "Answer" section.
RecordValue is the actual value that is cached. For instance this may be an IP address for A records.
RecordInfo is a text representation of the other parameters. This is suitable for use in a log file or to display.
on_error Event
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
class IPInfoErrorEventParams(object): @property def error_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class IPInfo: @property def on_error() -> Callable[[IPInfoErrorEventParams], None]: ... @on_error.setter def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[IPInfoErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.
The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
on_request_complete Event
This event is fired after an asynchronous request completes.
Syntax
class IPInfoRequestCompleteEventParams(object): @property def request_id() -> int: ... @property def status_code() -> int: ... @property def description() -> str: ... # In class IPInfo: @property def on_request_complete() -> Callable[[IPInfoRequestCompleteEventParams], None]: ... @on_request_complete.setter def on_request_complete(event_hook: Callable[[IPInfoRequestCompleteEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
Remarks
The RequestId parameter specifies the request that just completed. The class properties that relate to this request are completed with the returned values. For example, in the case of domain name resolution, host_name, host_address, host_aliases, and other_addresses are set to the resolved values.
If the request completed normally, StatusCode is 0, and Description is "OK". If not, StatusCode has the error code returned by the system. Description contains a description of this code.
Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.
Note: This functionality is only available in Windows.
IPInfo Config Settings
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.IPInfo Config Settings
