pygeoip 0.2.6

# Pure Python GeoIP API # The API is based on [MaxMind’s C-based Python API](http://www.maxmind.com/app/python), but the code itself is ported from the [Pure PHP GeoIP API](http://pear.php.net/package/Net_GeoIP) by Jim Winstead and Hans Lellelid.

It is mostly a drop-in replacement, except the new and open methods are gone.

Tested using tox with Python version 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.

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(‘/path/to/GeoIP.dat’, pygeoip.MEMORY_CACHE)
