How to Detect Expired Domains Using Python
Parse a list of domain registration data and compare expiry dates to today to find expired domains.
import datetime
# List of test domains with fake registration and expiry dates
# Format: (domain, registration_date, expiry_date)
test_domains = [
('example.com', '2020-01-15', '2024-01-15'), # Expired
('google.com', '1997-09-15', '2026-09-15'), # Still active
('test-site.org', '2019-06-01', '2023-06-0…How to define an exception hierarchy for domain errors in Python
Create a custom exception hierarchy with a base DomainError class and specific subclasses to handle validation, not-found, permission, and concurrency errors cleanly in Python apps.
class DomainError(Exception):
"""Base class for all domain errors."""
pass
class ValidationError(DomainError):
"""Raised when input data fails validation rules."""
pass
class NotFoundError(DomainError):
"""Raised when a requested entity does not exist."""
pass
class PermissionDeniedError(Dom…How to Monitor Domain Expiration Dates in Python
A Python script that checks domain expiration dates using the python-whois library and warns when a domain is expiring soon.
import whois
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
import time
def check_domain_expiry(domain_name):
"""Check when a domain expires and warn if soon."""
try:
w = whois.whois(domain_name)
expiry = w.expiration_date
# Handle list or single date
if isinstance(expiry, list):
…Parse WHOIS Data with Python Regex
Extract domain registration fields from a mock WHOIS record using regex and compute days until expiration.
import re
from datetime import datetime
def parse_whois(whois_text: str) -> dict:
"""Extract key registration fields from a mock WHOIS record."""
patterns = {
"domain": r"Domain Name:\s*(.+)",
"registrar": r"Registrar:\s*(.+)",
"creation_date": r"Creation Date:\s*(.+)",

…How to Implement an Outbox Pattern Mock in Python
This code demonstrates a simple in-memory outbox pattern mock for publishing domain events and tracking pending events until they are marked as published.
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from datetime import datetime
from uuid import uuid4
@dataclass
class DomainEvent:
event_id: str = field(default_factory=lambda: str(uuid4()))
occurred_at: datetime = field(default_factory=datetime.utcnow)
class Outbox:

Generate a mock SPIFFE ID and token for a workload using a trust domain, namespace, and service account.
import hashlib
import json
from dataclasses import dataclass, asdict
@dataclass
class SPIFFEIdentity:
trust_domain: str
namespace: str
service_account: str
@property
def id(self) -> str:
return f"spiffe://{self.trust_domain}/ns/{self.namespace}/sa/{self.service_account}"

Implements a mock HSTS preload list in Python that supports adding, removing, checking domains with subdomain inheritance, and listing domains.
import json
class HSTSPreloadList:
def __init__(self):
self.domains = {}
def add_domain(self, domain, include_subdomains=False, max_age=31536000):
self.domains[domain] = {
"include_subdomains": include_subdomains,
