Project description

Author: Jacob Magnusson. [Follow me on Twitter](https://twitter.com/pyjacob)

## About

This is a simple Flask extension for pygeoip. Not yet thoroughly tested, but has been working great for me so far.

## Installation

Install using pip

pip install Flask-GeoIP

…or clone the project from github.

git clone https://github.com/jmagnusson/Flask-GeoIP.git

## Configuration

The GeoIP file that you want to use needs to be set in your config:

GEOIP_FILEPATH = ‘/path/to/geoip.dat’

You can change the caching method (default is ‘STANDARD’) that is used by pygeoip:

GEOIP_CACHE = ‘MEMORY_CACHE’

Then in the code you do:

from flask.ext.geoip import GeoIP app = Flask(__name__) app.config.from_pyfile(‘/path/to/myconfig.py’) geoip = GeoIP(app) country = geoip.country_name_by_addr(‘1.2.3.4’)

Or if using a factory function for creating your app:

from flask.ext.geoip import GeoIP geoip = GeoIP() … app = create_app(‘/path/to/myconfig.py’) geoip.init_app(app) country = geoip.country_name_by_addr(‘1.2.3.4’)
