#20384: GeoIP doesn't support unicode path
----------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: julian@… | Owner: nobody

Severity: Normal | Keywords: geoip unicode

----------------------------+---------------------------
If the path that GeoIP should use is a unicode object it will fail to
properly parse/identify the GeoIP databases.
{{{
>>> from django.contrib.gis.geoip import GeoIP
>>> g = GeoIP(path='/path/to/GeoIP')
>>> g.info
'GeoIP Library:\n\t1.4.8\nCountry:\n\tGEO-106FREE [...]\nCity:\n\tGEO-
533LITE [...]'
>>> g = GeoIP(path=u'/path/to/GeoIP')
>>> g.info
'GeoIP Library:\n\t1.4.8\nCountry:\n\t\nCity:\n\t'
}}}
Tested this on Python 2.7. The same effect occurs in py3k, but getting it
to work there in the same way would require using byte literals in
{{{django/contrib/gis/geoip/base.py", line 92, in __init__}}}.
Using Linux kernel 3.8.5-1-ARCH, ext4 filesystem and Python 2.7.4.
