Answer 1

you want to do a "DNS lookup" :

import socket
print socket.gethostbyname('www.google.com')

Output:

74.125.230.112

EDIT:

For IPv6 support, you can use getaddrinfo (). However, I'm not sure that is what you want ;)

Answer 2

You want to do an NS lookup?

>>> import socket
>>> print socket.getaddrinfo('www.google.com', 80)

@Jarred, gethostbyname() as stated in the documentation , does not support IPv6. Also if you look at the result of getaddrinfo() , there are other ip addresses related to "www.google.com".
