Parsed output not what you expected? Unfortunately, "the format of responses [from a WHOIS server] follow a semi-free text format". Therefore, situations will arise where this module does not support parsing the output from a specific server, and you may find yourself needing more control over how parsing happens. Fortunately, you can create customized parsers to suit your needs.
Example: This is a snippet of the output from running the "whois google.be" command.

In this case, the "name servers" are listed on separate lines. The default BaseParser regexes won't find all of these server names. In order to accommodate this extra step, the "parse" method was overwritten within the parser subclass as seen below:
class RegexBE(BaseParser):
_be_expressions = { # the base class (BaseParser) will handle these regexes
BaseKeys.CREATED: r'Registered: *(.+)',
BaseKeys.REGISTRAR: r'Registrar:\n.+Name: *(.+)',
BaseKeys.REGISTRANT_NAME: r'Registrant:\n *(.+)'
}
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.update_reg_expressions(self._be_expressions)
def parse(self, blob: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
# run base class parsing for other keys
parsed_output = super().parse(blob)
# custom parsing is needed to extract all the name servers
ns_match = re.search(r"Name servers: *(.+)Keys: ", blob, re.DOTALL)
if ns_match:
parsed_output[BaseKeys.NAME_SERVERS] = [m.strip() for m in ns_match.group(1).split('\n') if m.strip()]
return parsed_output
