7This basic example shows how to create a context and resolve a host address (DNS record of A type).

10
11	#!/usr/bin/python
12	import unbound
13	
14	ctx = unbound.ub_ctx()
15	ctx.resolvconf("/etc/resolv.conf")
16	
17	status, result = ctx.resolve("www.google.com")
18	if status == 0 and result.havedata:
19		print "Result.data:", result.data.address_list
20	elif status != 0:
21		print "Resolve error:", unbound.ub_strerror(status)

23In contrast with C API, the source code is more compact while the performance of C implementation is preserved. 
24The main advantage is that you need not take care about the deallocation and allocation of context and result structures; pyUnbound module do it automatically for you.

26If only domain name is given, the :meth:`unbound.ub_ctx.resolve` looks for A records in IN class.
