I'm at best a hack at python (sorry, my scripting skills were honed in the days of yore, when the Patholgoically Eclectic Rubbish Lister was king :) ), but looking at this: https://github.com/fedora-infra/geoip-city-wsgi and the anaconda source code (which appears to only care about country_code and time_zone), it seems reasonably straight forward. F31 and EPEL (if the site runs on RHEL/CentOS 7) already have the GeoIP2 python library (I had to build the perl modules myself, and haven't gotten around to submitting them). I could take a stab, let someone laugh at my hideous code, but then have a base to knock into shape. :) Does anything other than anaconda use it? Only returning country_code and time_zone would be pretty trivial if not. Looking at IPv6... as bad as IPv4 geolocation data can be sometimes, IPv6 is just incomplete (in MaxMind, my home LAN subnet is correct, but the WAN subnet is located to "the US" (so useless for time zone selection), so probably best to stick to IPv4 -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
