Hi,

netgroup support is missing.
This is not very trivial because contents is not set in netgroups.

from the command line utility provided by libc, getent --help:

Supported databases:
ahosts ahostsv4 ahostsv6 aliases ethers group gshadow hosts initgroups
netgroup networks passwd protocols rpc services shadow

many of these are different names than the ones found in this library:

__all__ = (
    'alias', 'group', 'host', 'network', 'passwd', 'proto', 'rpc', 'service',
    'shadow', 'netgroup'
)

for consistency, it would be good if these used the same database names as the library itself. I found the remapping of hosts -> host and services -> service particularly confusing since they don't even match up to the name in /etc/ when nsswitch is using files as the backend.

Hi
The following change is requirement for python3.

9fa0d1e

But, it has not been released to pypi.

Would it be possible to make a new release?

thank you.
