Maybe this is an alternative as well? https://pythonhosted.org/python-geoip/

Feel free to investigate if you can make one of those options work. But it is currently not on my priority list.
Also the url https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz doesn't seem to work, btw.
