Supports detailed city-level databases
Efficient processing with progress bars
Generates MMDB files compatible with MaxMind GeoIP2 APIs

Requirements

Python 3.5+
tqdm library (for progress bars)

pip install tqdm netaddr mmdb-writer
```

Usage

Download the IP2Location CSV database from IP2Location.

Run the conversion script:

python convert.py <path_to_IP2Location_CSV_file>

The script will generate an MMDB file in the same directory as the input CSV file.

Example

python convert.py /path/to/IP-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY-LATITUDE-LONGITUDE-ISP.CSV
