Hi, Will add support for the new MaxMind DB files? These have the .mmdb extension. Actually, not is possible open it.

Thanks!

I am not discouraging another implementation, but MaxMind does provides a Python module for it that includes both a pure Python reader and a C extension. PRs or feature requests are welcome.

I believe the author of Flask also took the above code and refactored it a bit to create another reader module.

I don't think pygeoip will ever support the new MMDB format. As @oschwald mentions, MaxMind have released their own pure Python reader this time. You can find it here.
