This module houses the GeoIP object, a ctypes wrapper for the MaxMind GeoIP(R)
|
|
C API (http://www.maxmind.com/app/c). This is an alternative to the GPL
|
|
licensed Python GeoIP interface provided by MaxMind.
|
|
|
|
GeoIP(R) is a registered trademark of MaxMind, LLC of Boston, Massachusetts.
|
|
|
|
For IP-based geolocation, this module requires the GeoLite Country and City
|
|
datasets, in binary format (CSV will not work!). The datasets may be
|
|
downloaded from MaxMind at http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/.
|
|
Grab GeoIP.dat.gz and GeoLiteCity.dat.gz, and unzip them in the directory
|
|
corresponding to settings.GEOIP_PATH.
