Description:

Pure Python GeoIP API based on MaxMind's C-based Python API
but the code itself is ported from the Pure PHP GeoIP API.

Create your GeoIP instance with appropriate access flag. `STANDARD` reads
data from disk when needed, `MEMORY_CACHE` loads database into memory on
instantiation and `MMAP_CACHE` loads database into memory using mmap.

import pygeoip
gi = pygeoip.GeoIP('/usr/share/geoip/GeoIP.dat', pygeoip.MEMORY_CACHE)

Country lookup

>>> gi.country_code_by_name('google.com')
'US'
>>> gi.country_code_by_addr('64.233.161.99')
'US'
>>> gi.country_name_by_addr('64.233.161.99')
'United States'

City lookup

>>> gi = pygeoip.GeoIP('/usr/share/geoip/GeoLiteCity.dat')
>>> gi.record_by_addr('64.233.161.99')
{
'city': 'Mountain View',
'region_name': 'CA',
'area_code': 650,
'longitude': -122.0574,
'country_code3': 'USA',
'latitude': 37.419199999999989,
'postal_code': '94043',
'dma_code': 807,
'country_code': 'US',
'country_name': 'United States'
}
>>> gi.time_zone_by_addr('64.233.161.99')
'America/Los_Angeles'
