What python libraries can tell me approximate location and time zone given an IP address?

Question

Looking to implement better geo-location with Python.

Answer 1

I think freegeip is a good option. Below is the Python 3.4.2 code for getting location and time zone.

>>> import requests
>>> ip = '141.70.111.66'   
>>> url = 'http://freegeoip.net/json/'+ip
>>> r = requests.get(url)
>>> js = r.json()
>>> js['country_code']
'DE'
>>> js['country_name']
'Germany'
>>> js['time_zone']
'Europe/Berlin'
