usage: python -m idna [-h] [-e | -d] [--strict] [--version] [domain ...]
Convert a domain name between its Unicode (U-label) and ASCII-compatible (A-label) forms. With no
mode flag, the direction is chosen from the first input — if it contains an xn-- label the stream
is decoded, otherwise it is encoded — and the same mode is applied to every remaining input. UTS
#46 mapping is applied by default; pass --strict to disable it. When no domains are given on the
command line and stdin is piped, one domain per line is read from stdin.
positional arguments:
domain One or more domain names to convert. Omit to read from stdin.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e, --encode Encode the input to its ASCII A-label form.
-d, --decode Decode the input from its ASCII A-label form.
--strict Disable the default UTS #46 mapping and apply IDNA 2008 rules verbatim.
--version show program's version number and exit
