Breaking change

There can be some because the used library is returning data in a different format

Proposed change

Replacement of unmaintained whois upstream library with a maintained one.
With this change getting expiration dates for .pl domains finally works.

This is a continuation of #117749, but with addressed comments

The tests are still missing, because I'd like to get some initial feedback from the integration owner if this is the right direction and how we can proceed with this, to fix the missing expiration date for some domains

  • Dependency upgrade
  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

I am against moving to this package. It has caused lots of issue, we migrated away from it.

It lacks typing and is missing error handling.

My comments from the original PR thus remains.

Thank you for the reply.

The current integration does not work for the domains I own and manage. This was my motivation: to fix the current integration and have working expiration date sensors.
I was searching for other packages, but one that is also popular has memory issues.
I can replace the library with another, but I don't know which one is acceptable, so I'm open to suggestions.
According to https://pypi.org/project/whois/, the currently used package is not supported and, as mentioned, is not working correctly.

The pypi you linked does link to another package, maybe that works?
