fast patch for this(very uggly, broke geop functionality) is:

Looking for any updated!

geoip2 works just fine.

from django.contrib.gis.geoip2 import GeoIP2

Make sure to have installed the python library, you can do pip install geoip2 and set the path to the dataset in your settings.py correctly.

Django docs explains the steps clearly.

Yes, geoip2 works just fine.

REFER:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/contrib/gis/geoip2/

Step by step guide:

1. Install requests library (if needed)
   pip install requests

2. Install geoip2
   pip install geoip2

3. For working geoip2 faster based on external C library, you can install libmaxminddb0
   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maxmind/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libmaxminddb0 libmaxminddb-dev mmdb-bin

4.Download GeoLite2 databases (GeoLite2 City and GeoLite2 Country) only in binary format from here:
https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/

5. Next unzip both downloaded file and put both(GeoLite2-City.mmdb and GeoLite2-Country.mmdb) file in geoip2 folder made into your django projects root folder.

For example, My root folder looks like:

_src_:
    _geoip2_:
        _GeoLite2-City.mmdb_
        _GeoLite2-Country.mmdb_

6. Now add GEOIP_PATH into your settings.py file:
   GEOIP_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'geoip2')

7. Now you'r all ready to go.

django2.0

from django.contrib.gis.geoip import HAS_GEOIP
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django.contrib.gis.geoip'

I add those to settings:
GEOIP_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'geoip2')

and download GeoLite2 databases (GeoLite2 City and GeoLite2 Country) only in binary format from here:https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/
Next unzip both downloaded file and put both(GeoLite2-City.mmdb and GeoLite2-Country.mmdb) file in geoip2 folder made into my django projects root folder.

I just not use GEOP. While i should do additional configuration, check i have valid dbs for this simple module?
From my point of view it should not rise exception if it can't load module which not states in package dependencies.

django.contrib.gis.geoip was deprecated and upgraded to django.contrib.gis.geoip2 so this needs a fix and pull request

[tpeaton]

This issue should be resolved with #73.
