Description: ============
        Whois Client
        ============
        
        Whois client fully written in Python. It uses the list of assignations provided
        by the whois client of debian (https://github.com/weppos/whois-debian).
        
        History
        ===========
        To parse the whois entries, it uses an improved version of pywhois:
        https://code.google.com/p/pywhois/
        but the basic idea is the same. 
        
        Usage
        ==========
        To get a whois entry:
            pywhois <IP>
        
        To get a RIS entry: 
            pyRIS <IP>
        
        More information on how to use the lib ASAP.
        
        
        Why
        ===========
        This code has been first written to be used in bgp ranking:
        http://gitorious.org/bgp-ranking
        but it is now a standalone project.
