[Tutor] Whois

[Øyvind]

Hello.

I am trying to write a module that lets me check whois-info of ip-adresses:

import socket

class whois:
    pass

    def ip(self, adresse):
        self.s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.s.connect(('whois.ripe.net', 43))
        #self.s.connect(('whois.norid.no', 43))
        self.s.send("%s \n\n" % adresse)
        self.data = self.s.recv(8196)
        self.page = ''
        self.page = self.page + self.data
        return self.page

If I run the module I get the following:
>>import whois
>>from whois import *
>>n = whois()
>>n.ip('193.12.32.16')
'% This is the RIPE Whois query server #2.\n% The objects are in RPSL
format.\n%\n% Note: the default output of the RIPE Whois server\n% is
changed. Your tools may need to be adjusted. See\n%
http://www.ripe.net/db/news/abuse-proposal-20050331.html\n% for more
details.\n%\n% Rights restricted by copyright.\n% See
http://www.ripe.net/db/copyright.html\n\n'

This is just the first part of the whois-info.

However, if I don't write it into a function:

>>import socket
>>s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
>>s.connect(('whois.ripe.net', 43))
>>s.send("%s \n\n" % '193.12.32.16')
15
>>data = s.recv(8196)
>>page = ''
>>page = page + data
>>page
'% This is the RIPE Whois query server #2.\n% The objects are in RPSL
format.\n%\n% Note: the default output of the RIPE Whois server\n% is
changed. Your tools may need to be adjusted. See\n%

Now I get everything, not only the first part as I did above. Why? And
what should I do with the module in order to get all the info?

Thanks in advance.
