Hi,

I have written an app using pygeoip and MaxMind data files that works but I 
want to make a change. This library with the data files allows
one to map ip addresses to geographic locations.

in my controller, I have a line,

gic = pygeoip.GeoIP('/User/mgreaney/geostuff/GeoLiteCity.dat'), 
pygeoip.MEMORY_CACHE) 
which works fine. but I want to be able to put the file in the static 
directory and access from there.

I tried this change 

gic = pygeoip.GeoIP(URL('static','GeoLiteCity', extension='.dat'), 
pygeoip.MEMORY_CACHE)

but I get an error stating that the file does not exist. It is in the 
directory static.

file: GeoLiteCity.dat
GeoLiteCity.dat: data

Maxmind also gives .dat files that can be read into a database.

But is it possible to use their data file served from the static directory? 
 Has anyone else tried this?

thanks for any suggestions.

Margaret
