Thanks all !.. Ultimately daniels suggestion worked perectly for me... 1.get the geo ip database from here http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz 2. get the geo ip script from here http://blogstatic.micropledge.com/2009/07/geoip.py.txt <http://blogstatic.micropledge.com/2009/07/geoip.py.txt>3. place geoip.py in your site packages. 4. try it out:- >>>import geoip >>>geoip.country('202.21.128.102') 'NZ' works perfectly... Thanks Vivek
