AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'whois'

Question

I tried to execute this code:

import whois
w = whois.whois('webscraping.com')
print w

And I got the error above. Why?

Answer 1

Wrong library, solution is to remove old one and install new :

pip uninstall whois 
pip install python-whois

Answer 2

Try this instead:

w = whois.query('webscraping.com')
