HookDNS is a library which allow you to modify a name resolution in your Python script without any modification in your hosts file or by using a fake DNS resolver.
import requests from hookdns import hosts with hosts({"example.org": "127.0.0.1"}): ... r = requests.get("http://example.org") # the request is sent to your local server ...pip install hookdns Custom DNS resolutions are describe by a dictionnary where the keys are hostnames and the values the expected corresponding addresses.
{ "hostname1": "addr1", "hostname2": "addr2" } hostname and addr could be a domain name or a string representation of an IPv4/IPV6.
