Depending on the version, upgrading to a new version of pythonwhois may entail a need for code changes. These are the usual guidelines:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Major version (x.0.0)::
|
||
|
|
Major changes have been made to the API. This will almost certainly require a code change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Minor version (0.x.0)::
|
||
|
|
Some changes have been made to the API, but these are backwards-compatible. There are probably new features that you're not yet utilizing, but current code will remain functional.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Patch version (0.0.x)::
|
||
|
|
Minor changes have been made that do not affect the API. Patch releases are usually changes in the parsing or normalization, or support for new WHOIS servers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
More specific instructions are below.

|
## Upgrading from 1.x to 2.x
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `pythonwhois.whois` method has been removed, and is replaced by the `pythonwhois.get_whois` method, **which has a significantly different API.** The following important changes have to be taken into account:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* __Empty keys are no longer filled with nulls; they are now simply absent. You cannot assume anymore that any keys will be present in the response, whatsoever.__
|
||
|
|
* The `name_servers` key has been renamed to `nameservers`.
|
||
|
|
* A new `contacts`key has been added. Refer to the {>usage}(usage instructions) for more information.
