New description:
django.contrib.gis.geoip.GeoIP does not read the city/country databases
when called without any parameters. But when passing the city/country
database files path explicitly to the init method, it works fine.
Here is example:
{{{
# Settings
GEOIP_PATH = os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'bin',
'GeoIP')
GEOIP_COUNTRY = 'GeoIP.dat'
GEOIP_CITY = 'GeoLiteCity.dat'
}}}
{{{
In [1]: from django.contrib.gis.geoip import GeoIP
In [2]: geo = GeoIP()
In [3]: geo.info
Out[3]: 'GeoIP Library:\n\t1.4.8\nCountry:\n\t\nCity:\n\t'
In [4]: geo._city_file
Out[4]:
Path(u'/Users/tejindersingh/Projects/kyb/bin/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat')
In [5]: geo._country_file
Out[5]: Path(u'/Users/tejindersingh/Projects/kyb/bin/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat')
In [6]: geo.city('8.8.8.8')
Invalid database type GeoIP Country Edition, expected GeoIP City Edition,
Rev 1
}}}
Doing same thing passing the path as parameters:
{{{
In [7]: geo =
GeoIP(city='/Users/tejindersingh/Projects/kyb/bin/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat',
country='/Users/tejindersingh/Projects/kyb/bin/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat')
In [8]: geo.info
Out[8]: 'GeoIP Library:\n\t1.4.8\nCountry:\n\tGEO-106FREE 20120207 Build 1
Copyright (c) 2011 MaxMind Inc All Rights Reserved\nCity:\n\tGEO-533LITE
20121002 Build 1 Copyright (c) 2012 MaxMind Inc All Rights Reserved'
In [9]: geo._city_file
Out[9]: '/Users/tejindersingh/Projects/kyb/bin/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat'
In [10]: geo._country_file
Out[10]: '/Users/tejindersingh/Projects/kyb/bin/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat'
In [11]: geo.city('8.8.8.8')
Out[11]:
{'area_code': 650,
'charset': 0,
'city': u'Mountain View',
'continent_code': u'NA',
'country_code': u'US',
'country_code3': u'USA',
'country_name': u'United States',
'dma_code': 807,
'latitude': 37.4192008972168,
'longitude': -122.05740356445312,
'postal_code': u'94043',
'region': u'CA'}
}}}
This happens under ox X mountain lion and with kyngchaos gis/gdal binary
packages as well as self compile brews.

Comment:
Fixed formatting -- please use preview.
If I understand correctly, the problem only occurs when `GEOIP_PATH` is a
`unicode` rather than a `str`.
The short answer is "make sure `settings.PROJECT_DIR` is a `str`". But in
your case the path only contains ASCII characters so it shouldn't make any
difference.
