Python whois package

I would like to use the Python whois package, however I am getting an error because the Linux whois command is not available in the server.

Can I somehow install whois in my home? Thanks.

We don't have it installed but we can include it in the next system image later this year. There is no way for users to install system packages.

Thanks, that would be great, when is approximately planned the update?

No fixed date unfortunately.

This is now available in the glastonbury system image: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/ChangingSystemImage/
