-# Goal #
-  * Create a simple importable Python module which will produce parsed WHOIS data for a given domain. 
-  * Able to extract data for all the popular TLDs (com, org, net, ...)
-  * Query a WHOIS server directly instead of going through an intermediate web service like many others do.
-  * Works with Python 2.4+ and no external dependencies
-
-
-# Example #
-
-
-```
-#!python
-
->>> import whois
->>> w = whois.whois('webscraping.com')
->>> w.expiration_date  # dates converted to datetime object
-datetime.datetime(2013, 6, 26, 0, 0)
->>> w.text  # the content downloaded from whois server
-u'\nWhois Server Version 2.0\n\nDomain names in the .com and .net 
-...'
-
->>> print w  # print values of all found attributes
-creation_date: 2004-06-26 00:00:00
-domain_name: [u'WEBSCRAPING.COM', u'WEBSCRAPING.COM']
-emails: [u'WEBSCRAPING.COM@domainsbyproxy.com', u'WEBSCRAPING.COM@domainsbyproxy.com']
-expiration_date: 2013-06-26 00:00:00
