Abstract: Internet devices can be geographically located by their IP address. The location is derived without the need to communicate or have access to the device. This paper introduces a library and a standalone application for such location. The advantage of the library is a unified access to the major geolocation databases, as each database uses a specific access or interface. By this way, a location can be derived from various sources, compared, and best source selected. Commercial and free-to-use databases are included. The library is available via the GitHub and PyPi repositories.
