   4 **Prerequisites**
   5
   6 Python 2.4 or higher, SWIG 1.3 or higher, GNU make
   7
   8 **Compiling**
   9
  10 After downloading, you can compile the pyUnbound library by doing::
  11
  12         > tar -xzf unbound-x.x.x-py.tar.gz
  13         > cd unbound-x.x.x
  14         > ./configure --with-pyunbound
  15         > make
  16
  17 You may want to --with-pythonmodule as well if you want to use python as
  18 a module in the resolver.
  19
  20 You need GNU make to compile sources; SWIG and Python devel libraries to compile extension module.
  21
  22
  23 **Testing**
  24
  25 If the compilation is successfull, you can test the python LDNS extension module by::
  26
  27         > cd contrib/python
  28         > make testenv
  29         > ./dns-lookup.py
  30
  31 You may want to make install in the main directory since make testenv is for debugging.  In contrib/examples you can find simple applications written in Python using the Unbound extension.
