+Python FQDN Fully-Qualified Domain Names
+
+This package validates Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) conforming
+to the Internet Engineering Task Force specification. The design intent
+is to validate that a string would be traditionally acceptable as a
+public Internet hostname to RFC-conforming software, which is a strict
+subset of the logic in modern web browsers like Mozilla Firefox and
+Chromium that determines whether make a DNS lookup. Configuration
+options can relax constraints so that short hostnames without periods
+or others with underscores will be valid. These relaxations are closer
+to how modern web browsers work.
