Same problem here.

busla commented 9 years ago

Yeah, same here.

bogdal commented 9 years ago

maxminddb-geolite2 is a good alternative and it supports python3.

busla commented 9 years ago

Thanks mate, works perfectly.

crclayton commented 8 years ago

Same problem. Neither src_ip.encode("utf-8") or bytes(src_ip, "utf-8") help.

yanagiragi commented 7 years ago

Platform : Window7 64 bit Same Problem. bytearray(src_ip, "utf-8") doesn;t help

However it works fine on Ubuntu

For those who came across this issue, please consider using GeoIP2 https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-python

arshbot commented 4 years ago

@datng2 is it a direct stand in replacement?

datng2 commented 4 years ago

@arshbot I would recommend taking a look MaxMind DB reader as well. I think it also supports Enterprise version if you need to upgrade later.
