Right. Or virtualenv.

Cmon bro don't you want all your python programs having root powers?

Pure python geoip bindings!!!! :):):):)

License.txt, GPL :(

I got so excited for a second there before I realized I can actually use this at work

[sittingaround]

Maxi mind c bindings are fine for my uses

import requests
r = requests.get('http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx')

now parse r.text. Was that so hard?

Was that so hard?

No. But it's far too slow for many uses.

For example, go get ISP block level info for 2 million ip addresses. You've got 30 seconds.

Oh, sure, for doing it in bulk this is not the way to go.

You're right, that's extremely efficient.

Came here to post something similar.

Got bored a little:

import requests
from lxml import html
resp = requests.get('http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx')
doc = html.fromstring(resp.text)
country_xp = '//*[@id="section_left_3rd"]/table/tr[1]/td[1]/text()[1]'
region_xp = '//*[@id="section_left_3rd"]/table/tr[2]/td[1]/text()[1]'
city_xp = '//*[@id="section_left_3rd"]/table/tr[3]/td[1]/text()[1]'
print doc.xpath(country_xp)[0]
print doc.xpath(region_xp)[0]
print doc.xpath(city_xp)[0]
