Pythonic wrapper around the freegeoip web service
Using pip NOT IMPLEMENTED YET: For now, download and then put freegeoip.py in your PATH
(Python 3 syntax)
from freegeoip

import fetch
# to fetch using the system IP
local_data = fetch()
# to fetch using a manually-entered IP
manual_data = fetch(ip="72.160.61.110")
# to fetch using a different server
server_data = fetch(server="http://freegeoip.mywebservice.com")fetch() returns a data structure upon success or throws an Exception upon failure. If we looked into the variable local_data from the above example, the available data would be as follows:
local_data.country_name # Ex. "United States"
local_data.region_code # Ex. "Montana"
local_data.city # Ex. "Kalispell"
local_data.zip_code # Ex. "59901"
local_data.latitude # Ex. 48.1987
local_data.longitude # Ex. -114.3857
local_data.metro_code # Ex. 762
local_data.time_zone # Ex. "America/Denver"
