Somehow, adding a new record to Route53 takes 100 lines of Python. So now it only takes one.

```python
>>> from youarehere import create_record
>>> create_record("A", "foo.example.com", "4.4.4.4")
```

You can also easily point a record to the current machine:

```python
>>> from youarehere import point_record_to_here
>>> point_record_to_here("foo.example.com")
```

## use case

You have a Raspberry Pi that travels around and you want to keep a pointer to it in Route53. Add this as a cron-job:

```
$ python3 -c "point_record_to_here('my-pi.example.com')"
```


## `create_record` Arguments

| Argument       | Type                | Default | Description                                                                                                                           |
| -------------- | ------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| record_type    | `str`               |         | The type of the record to add (e.g. A, CNAME, etc). For an exhaustive list, see `youarehere.VALID_RECORD_TYPES`.                      |
| name           | `str`               |         | The DNS record name (e.g. `"foo.example.com"`)                                                                                        |
| destination    | `str` / `List[str]` |         | The destination IP or values (e.g. `["4.4.4.4", "8.8.8.8"]`). If you provide a single string, it will be treated as an Array[1].      |
| hosted_zone_id | `str`               | None    | ID of the hosted zone to which to add this record. Guess automatically by default, or use `youarehere.guess_hosted_zone_id_for_name`. |
| comment        | `str`               | ""      | An optional comment for the change request (e.g. `"Baby's first DNS record!"`)                                                        |
| ttl            | `int`               | 300     | The TTL for your record; defaults to 300 which is probably too low.                                                                   |
