simplegeoip 0.2.0

Shell script and module for easy geoip lookups.

Dead simple geoip package. Pretty much just a wrapper around maxminddb that automatically downloads the geolite database for you. You can either do this manually using the ‘download_latest_database’ function or let the script do it automatically when it detects no database is installed.

Can be used as a package or standalone script.

Install

pip install simplegeoip

Usage

As a python package.

import simplegeoip

# Gets a dict with country/city information, if there is no database it will be downloaded automatically
simplegeoip.lookup('127.0.0.1')
# Downloads an updated database into simplegeoip's application directory
simplegeoip.download_latest_database()
# Tells you when the database was last updated by maxmind
simplegeoip.last_updated()
# Returns a maxminddb reader object, if there is no database it will be downloaded automatically
simplegeoip.reader()

The same as above but as a standalone script
