===========================================

WHAT IS IT

If you want to gather web statistics by countries (not by top-level
domains) or implement targeting, here is solution: ip2cc. This module
allows to resolve country from IP address.

update.py - build/update database
ip2cc.py <address> - print country name for which
<address> is registered
For example:
$ ./ip2cc.py python.org
python.org (194.109.137.226) is located in NETHERLANDS
$ ./ip2cc.py google.com.ru
google.com.ru (216.239.33.100) is located in UNITED STATES

Module can be used as CGI.

I get an error when trying to use it... here's the problem below:

C:\Tools>ip2cc.py www.google.com
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Tools\ip2cc.py", line 338, in ?
db = CountryByIP(db_file)
File "C:\Tools\ip2cc.py", line 14, in __init__
self.fp = open(filename, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Tools\\ip2cc.db'

Looks like the database file is not included with the download.

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Tools\\ip2cc.db'

Looks like the database file is not included with the download.

Try running update.py first to retrieve the database from internet.
The exception should of course be caught by ip2cc script and
a clear explanation should be printed.

That's probably why it includes update.py, a tool for
updating/building the database.
