Comment:
I can confirm this on Django 1.4.3 with geoip 1.4.8.
I attached a test project that should reproduce this error. Instructions:
Extract, install requirements (Django==1.4.3) and run `runtest.sh` which
downloads GeoIP country data (slightly too big to attach) and then does a
`syncdb` (any Django command will do).
The exception should be the last line of the output. The culprit is
obviously in `django.contrib.gis.geoip.base.GeoIP.__del__` where
`GeoIP_delete` is None when this method is called.
Replacing `__del__` with the following removes the exception, but may
leave file handles lying around (I have no deeper knowledge about that).
{{{
def __del__(self):
# Cleaning any GeoIP file handles lying around.
if GeoIP_delete is None:
return
if self._country: GeoIP_delete(self._country)
if self._city: GeoIP_delete(self._city)
}}}
