shield Recommended update for python-dnspython
SUSE-SLE-Module-Public-Cloud-12-2016-860

This update provides python-dnspython 1.12.0, which brings the following fixes and enhancements: - The test system can now run the tests without requiring dnspython to be installed. - When reading from a masterfile, if the first content line started with leading whitespace, we raised an exception instead of doing the right thing, namely using the zone origin as the name. - Added dns.zone.to_text() convenience method. - The /etc/resolv.conf setting "options rotate" is now understood by the resolver. If present, the resolver will shuffle the nameserver list each time dns.resolver.query() is called. - Escaping of Unicode has been corrected. Previously we escaped and then converted to Unicode, but the right thing to do is convert to Unicode, then escape. Also, characters > 0x7f should NOT be escaped in Unicode mode. - dns.rdtypes.ANY.DNSKEY now has helpers functions to convert between the numeric form of the flags and a set of human-friendly strings. - RRSIGs did not respect relativization settings in to_text(). - The APL from_wire() method did not accept an rdata length of 0 as valid. - Add is_mapped() to dns/ipv6.py. - Lookup IPv6 mapped IPv4 addresses in the v4 reverse namespace. - Do not put back an unescaped token. This was causing escape processing for domain names to break. - Making a response didn't work correctly if the query was signed with TSIG and we knew the key. - Fix problems with the IXFR state machine which caused long diffs to fail. - Add python-ecdsa and python-pycrypto to BuildRequires for the DNSSec tests. - Use /usr/bin/python instead of /usr/bin/env python for the example scripts to avoid additional dependencies.
