Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA)
|
|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
Support for the Internationalized Domain Names in
|
|
Applications (IDNA) protocol as specified in `RFC 5891
|
|
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5891>`_. This is the latest version of
|
|
the protocol and is sometimes referred to as “IDNA 2008”.
|
|
|
|
This library also provides support for Unicode Technical
|
|
Standard 46, `Unicode IDNA Compatibility Processing
|
|
<https://unicode.org/reports/tr46/>`_.
|
|
|
|
This acts as a suitable replacement for the “encodings.idna”
|
|
module that comes with the Python standard library, but which
|
|
only supports the older superseded IDNA specification (`RFC 3490
|
|
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3490>`_).
|
|
|
|
Basic functions are simply executed:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: pycon
|
|
|
|
>>> import idna
|
|
>>> idna.encode('ドメイン.テスト')
|
|
b'xn--eckwd4c7c.xn--zckzah'
|
|
>>> print(idna.decode('xn--eckwd4c7c.xn--zckzah'))
|
|
ドメイン.テスト
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This package is available for installation from PyPI:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ python3 -m pip install idna
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
For typical usage, the ``encode`` and ``decode`` functions will take a
|
|
domain name argument and perform a conversion to A-labels or U-labels
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: pycon
|
|
|
|
>>> import idna
|
|
>>> idna.encode('ドメイン.テスト')
|
|
b'xn--eckwd4c7c.xn--zckzah'
|
|
>>> print(idna.decode('xn--eckwd4c7c.xn--zckzah'))
|
|
ドメイン.テスト
|
|
|
|
You may use the codec encoding and decoding methods using the
|
|
``idna.codec`` module:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: pycon
|
|
|
|
>>> import idna.codec
|
|
>>> print('домен.испытание'.encode('idna'))
|
|
b'xn--d1acufc.xn--80akhbyknj4f'
|
|
>>> print(b'xn--d1acufc.xn--80akhbyknj4f'.decode('idna'))
|
|
домен.испытание
|
|
|
|
Conversions can be applied at a per-label basis using the ``ulabel`` or
|
|
``alabel`` functions if necessary:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: pycon
|
|
|
|
>>> idna.alabel('测试')
|
|
b'xn--0zwm56d'
|
|
|
|
Compatibility Mapping (UTS #46)
|
|
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
As described in `RFC 5895 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5895>`_, the
|
|
IDNA specification does not normalize input from different potential
|
|
ways a user may input a domain name. This functionality, known as
|
|
a “mapping”, is considered by the specification to be a local
|
|
user-interface issue distinct from IDNA conversion functionality.
|
|
|
|
This library provides one such mapping, that was developed by the
|
|
Unicode Consortium. Known as `Unicode IDNA Compatibility Processing
|
|
<https://unicode.org/reports/tr46/>`_, it provides for both a regular
|
|
mapping for typical applications, as well as a transitional mapping to
|
|
help migrate from older IDNA 2003 applications.
|
|
|
|
For example, “Königsgäßchen” is not a permissible label as *LATIN
|
|
CAPITAL LETTER K* is not allowed (nor are capital letters in general).
|
|
UTS 46 will convert this into lower case prior to applying the IDNA
|
|
conversion.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: pycon
|
|
|
|
>>> import idna
|
|
>>> idna.encode('Königsgäßchen')
|
|
...
|
|
idna.core.InvalidCodepoint: Codepoint U+004B at position 1 of 'Königsgäßchen' not allowed
|
|
>>> idna.encode('Königsgäßchen', uts46=True)
|
|
b'xn--knigsgchen-b4a3dun'
|
|
>>> print(idna.decode('xn--knigsgchen-b4a3dun'))
|
|
königsgäßchen
|
|
|
|
Transitional processing provides conversions to help transition from
|
|
the older 2003 standard to the current standard. For example, in the
|
|
original IDNA specification, the *LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S* (ß) was
|
|
converted into two *LATIN SMALL LETTER S* (ss), whereas in the current
|
|
IDNA specification this conversion is not performed.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: pycon
|
|
|
|
>>> idna.encode('Königsgäßchen', uts46=True, transitional=True)
|
|
'xn--knigsgsschen-lcb0w'
|
|
|
|
Implementors should use transitional processing with caution, only in
|
|
rare cases where conversion from legacy labels to current labels must be
|
|
performed (i.e. IDNA implementations that pre-date 2008). For typical
|
|
applications that just need to convert labels, transitional processing
|
|
is unlikely to be beneficial and could produce unexpected incompatible
|
|
results.
|
|
|
|
``encodings.idna`` Compatibility
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Function calls from the Python built-in ``encodings.idna`` module are
|
|
mapped to their IDNA 2008 equivalents using the ``idna.compat`` module.
|
|
Simply substitute the ``import`` clause in your code to refer to the new
|
|
module name.
|
|
|
|
Exceptions
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
All errors raised during the conversion following the specification
|
|
should raise an exception derived from the ``idna.IDNAError`` base
|
|
class.
|
|
|
|
More specific exceptions that may be generated as ``idna.IDNABidiError``
|
|
when the error reflects an illegal combination of left-to-right and
|
|
right-to-left characters in a label; ``idna.InvalidCodepoint`` when
|
|
a specific codepoint is an illegal character in an IDN label (i.e.
|
|
INVALID); and ``idna.InvalidCodepointContext`` when the codepoint is
|
|
illegal based on its positional context (i.e. it is CONTEXTO or CONTEXTJ
|
|
but the contextual requirements are not satisfied.)
|
|
|
|
Building and Diagnostics
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The IDNA and UTS 46 functionality relies upon pre-calculated lookup
|
|
tables for performance. These tables are derived from computing against
|
|
eligibility criteria in the respective standards. These tables are
|
|
computed using the command-line script ``tools/idna-data``.
|
|
|
|
This tool will fetch relevant codepoint data from the Unicode repository
|
|
and perform the required calculations to identify eligibility. There are
|
|
three main modes:
|
|
|
|
* ``idna-data make-libdata``. Generates ``idnadata.py`` and
|
|
``uts46data.py``, the pre-calculated lookup tables using for IDNA and
|
|
UTS 46 conversions. Implementors who wish to track this library against
|
|
a different Unicode version may use this tool to manually generate a
|
|
different version of the ``idnadata.py`` and ``uts46data.py`` files.
|
|
|
|
* ``idna-data make-table``. Generate a table of the IDNA disposition
|
|
(e.g. PVALID, CONTEXTJ, CONTEXTO) in the format found in Appendix
|
|
B.1 of RFC 5892 and the pre-computed tables published by `IANA
|
|
<https://www.iana.org/>`_.
|
|
|
|
* ``idna-data U+0061``. Prints debugging output on the various
|
|
properties associated with an individual Unicode codepoint (in this
|
|
case, U+0061), that are used to assess the IDNA and UTS 46 status of a
|
|
codepoint. This is helpful in debugging or analysis.
|
|
|
|
The tool accepts a number of arguments, described using ``idna-data
|
|
-h``. Most notably, the ``--version`` argument allows the specification
|
|
of the version of Unicode to use in computing the table data. For
|
|
example, ``idna-data --version 9.0.0 make-libdata`` will generate
|
|
library data against Unicode 9.0.0.

Additional Notes
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* **Packages**. The latest tagged release version is published in the
|
|
`Python Package Index <https://pypi.org/project/idna/>`_.
|
|
|
|
* **Version support**. This library supports Python 3.5 and higher.
|
|
As this library serves as a low-level toolkit for a variety of
|
|
applications, many of which strive for broad compatibility with older
|
|
Python versions, there is no rush to remove older intepreter support.
|
|
Removing support for older versions should be well justified in that the
|
|
maintenance burden has become too high.
|
|
|
|
* **Python 2**. Python 2 is supported by version 2.x of this library.
|
|
While active development of the version 2.x series has ended, notable
|
|
issues being corrected may be backported to 2.x. Use "idna<3" in your
|
|
requirements file if you need this library for a Python 2 application.
|
|
|
|
* **Testing**. The library has a test suite based on each rule of the
|
|
IDNA specification, as well as tests that are provided as part of the
|
|
Unicode Technical Standard 46, `Unicode IDNA Compatibility Processing
|
|
<https://unicode.org/reports/tr46/>`_.
|
|
|
|
* **Emoji**. It is an occasional request to support emoji domains in
|
|
this library. Encoding of symbols like emoji is expressly prohibited by
|
|
the technical standard IDNA 2008 and emoji domains are broadly phased
|
|
out across the domain industry due to associated security risks. For
|
|
now, applications that wish need to support these non-compliant labels
|
|
may wish to consider trying the encode/decode operation in this library
|
|
first, and then falling back to using `encodings.idna`. See `the Github
|
|
project <https://github.com/kjd/idna/issues/18>`_ for more discussion.
