isc python module

[White, Peter]

I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but I think this is related. I also use the BIND python modules. In particular, I'm using it to update my catalog zones as described here: https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-01401

This document has several references to BIND 9.18 without any mention of the BIND python module being deprecated. What am I missing? I hope this helps...

    I'm not sure what "deal with Ansible" exactly mean :-) ISC does not and 
    did not provide an Ansible module, I believe, so in that respect nothing 
    has changed - use whatever third party software you were using before.

    The rndc protocol is not evolving at the moment, so it should be 
    unlikely we break the compatibility in near future.

    Does it answer your question?
