chrislim2888/ip2location-python

This module is a Python Library that enables the user to find the country, region, city, coordinates, zip code, ISP, domain name, timezone, connection speed, IDD code, area code, weather station code, weather station name, mobile, usage types, address type and IAB category that any IP address or host name originates from.

ip2location-python's Issues

A way to support ipv4 and ipv6 at same time

IP2Location is currently distributing the ipv4 and ipv6 databases in different files. This library does not support opening both at the same time. So we need to load correct file based on the requested ip address, but there is no method to check which version needs to be loaded, so for now we used the private method _parse_addr. Our code looks something like this:

iplocation = IP2Location()
if iplocation._parse_addr(addr)[0] == 6:
  iplocation.open('ipv6.bin')
else:
  iplocation.open('ipv4.bin')
return iplocation.get_all(addr)

If there is better way to support ipv4 and 6 at same time, can you please show how to do it? Or could you add public method that tells which ip database file is needed? For example:

  def get_ip_version(addr):
    return this._parse_addr(addr)[0]

Please correct your mistakes. Hong Kong is not a country, but a part of China's territory

Please correct your mistakes. Hong Kong is not a country, but a part of China's territory

I checked the IP address of Hong Kong, but the program returned Hong Kong as the country, which is a major error.

Unable to query IPv6 addresses

Hello,

We have problems using ip2location database with IPv6 addresses. For IPv4 addresses it is working fine. Should we be converting IPv6 to some other format or what would be the issue here?

Database we are using is named: IP-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY-ISP-DOMAIN.BIN

Would you build a Go language parse code?

Hi, thanks for support the Python language for parse the IP2Location, So is there you can build a Go language one?

File IP2Location.py not found for manual installation of 8.10.1

Since the build I get via pip is not working at all, I tried to install 8.10.1 manually from the release you provided.

Steps to reproduce

1. wget -c https://github.com/chrislim2888/IP2Location-Python/archive/refs/tags/8.10.1.zip
2. unzip 8.10.1.zip
3. cd IP2Location-Python-8.10.1
4. python3 setup.py build

Expected outcome

The build should run without any error so that I can continue with the last step: python3 setup.py install

Actual outcome

[user@server IP2Location-Python-8.10.1]$ python3 setup.py build
running build
running build_py
file IP2Location.py (for module IP2Location) not found
creating build

Release as pypi package

This library needs to be available as a Python package. Can we do a release to pypi?

IP2Location binary

I'm wondering if IPv6 binary file also contains all the entries of the IPv4 binary file? I'm looking to do IPv4 & IPv6 lookups but the CSV format version only show IPv4Comp for all IPv4 fields in the IPv6 CSV file. I'd like to have them combined so that I only need to handle binary file. Is it possible, or do you supply these files by any chance?

This is not official IP2Location right?

I see that on PyPi latest version is 7.0.3 from 19.10.2015. Last commit here is from 2014. I wanted to contribute some little improvements but this repo is not up to date.

Did you know where I can propose some changes?

Do you have any idea?

IP2Location giving wrong geolocation with updated database in Python 3.6.

I have a module in my application where I am showing the geolocation of a user using their IP Address. The sample code for that module is shown below:

I am using IP2Location API (version 8.6.4) on Python 3.6. I am using the paid database (.BIN file) for the lookup, and have recently downloaded the latest database file. As mentioned in the image above, I am inputting the IP Address 76.100.80.65, which is the IP of a user in Frederick, Maryland. However, when I run the code, the output is:

These coordinates point to an address in Alexandria, Virginia as shown in Google Maps:

Kindly help me with this problem. Thank you!

"struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4" with BIN database file retrieved on September 22, 2017

Hello,

I am encountering an error of type "struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4" while using the IP2Location-8.0.0 module with the IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB11.BIN fiel I retrieved today (September 22nd). The stack trace states the following:

Python 3.7 Compatibility

Hello,

I seem to be having problems using the module in Python 3.7. Pip is reporting that it's installed correctly but when I attempt to import I'm told the module isn't available.

>>> import IP2Location
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

I had a look in site packages and I'm seeing different files between a 8.0 installation against 3.6 and a 8.0.2 install against 3.7:

The problem is that the method _parse_addr(self, addr) always calls the method is_ipv4(addr).

IP2Location returning Junk Data for ISP/City/Country

Hi,

I am using ip2location bin file to retrieve details of an IP. Many a times i get some junk data for City, isp, lat/long.
Has someone faced this issue ??
We are not calling these API's in parallel. All are sequential calls. Any help is highly appreciated.

Updates vs shared memory

What would be the correct behaviour to handle updates when database is used in shared memory mode?

There is a long running set of gunicorn processes that uses ip2location database in shared memory mode and some side job that updates database file periodically. Does mmap hanles updates itself or its developer responsibility to re-read database?

Isn't the python api kind of slow

I can barely hit 2000 requests per second on my laptop. I was expecting this to be a lot faster.

IPV6 lookup is not working with Python 3.6

Error is attached in the screenshot:

Since Python 2 is deprecated, it would be nice to have the library updated. Thanks!

Add type annotations

I would like to contribute this feature. It would require dropping Python2 support.

Debug "print" statements left in code

With the latest release it looks like there are a couple debug "print" statements that were left in, the are on line 569 and 584 in IP2Location.py. Can they be cleaned up or at least changed to be optional?
