Hello,
I see that Django has GeoIP included but its my understanding this only supports the IPv4 database files from MaxMind. I'd love to use this functionality for the problem I am working on (locating a user's country by IP) but, I need to support IPv4 and IPv6. I assume my understanding around the current GeoIP functionality is correct? If so I'm interested to hear what others are doing if they have to account for IPv6 addresses in their geolocation via IP functionality.

There's an open ticket for that issue: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18349
The pull request needs to be updated for my review comments. If you want to update it, I don't think it should be much work.
