geoinfo with python

Question

I want to figure out where a host is located, in which country. There are sites that look up this information (e.g. http://geoip.flagfox.net/). Before writing a scraper, I would like to ask if you know a python API for this task.

Update: following the link of Ashwini Chaudhary, I made my own ip2country converter. Available here.

Thanks, the "geoplugin" part works fine. geoplugin has some nice [web services](http://www.geoplugin.com/webservices) too, including JSON. – Jabba May 01 '12 at 11:00

If high accuracy is not a concern, MaxMind's free databases (Country / City) could offer an off-line solution. It has a Python API.
