This Python software allows users to search for the location of an IP address and retrieve the corresponding country of origin. It simplifies the process of identifying the country of an IP address.
This software, ip2country, uses a method of downloading and caching the APNIC database to accurately determine the country of origin for IP addresses. Upon initial use, a file of approximately 300-400k is downloaded, but subsequent usage involves simply reading the table from disk at the location "~/.apnicdb".
The efficiency of this module is particularly impressive as it does not require a web hit for each lookup. Furthermore, only a monthly download of the table is necessary for continued accurate results. Overall, ip2country provides a reliable and efficient solution for determining the location of IP addresses.
