Mail exchange.

Instance Variable preference Specifies the preference given to this RR among others at the same owner. Lower values are preferred. (type: int)
Instance Variable name A domain-name which specifies a host willing to act as a mail exchange. (type: Name)
Instance Variable ttl The maximum number of seconds which this record should be cached. (type: int)
Method __init__
Method encode Write a representation of this object to the given file object.
Method decode Reconstruct an object from data read from the given file object.

def __init__(self, preference=0, name='', ttl=None, **kwargs):
ParametersnameSee Record_MX.name. (type: bytes or unicode)
def encode(self, strio, compDict=None):

Write a representation of this object to the given file object.

ParametersstrioThe buffer to write to. It must have a tell() method. (type: File-like object)
compDictA mapping of names to byte offsets that have already been written to the buffer, which may be used for compression (see RFC 1035 section 4.1.4). When None, encode without compression. (type: dict of bytes to int r None)
def decode(self, strio, length=None):

Reconstruct an object from data read from the given file object.

ParametersstrioA seekable buffer from which bytes may be read. (type: File-like object)
lengthThe number of bytes in this RDATA field. Most implementations can ignore this value. Only in the case of records similar to TXT where the total length is in no way encoded in the data is it necessary. (type: int or None)
