Hi how’s it going?

I know there’s an IP2Location python library for getting the country and city etc based on an IP Address string.

> **[IP2Location Python Library | IP2Location](https://www.ip2location.com/development-libraries/ip2location/python)**
>
> IP Address Geolocation to Country, City, Region, Latitude, Longitude, ZIP Code, ISP, Domain, Time Zone, Area Code, Mobile Data, Usage Type, Elevation and so on.

Do you know of anything similar in Julia? Or is PyCall the only option here

Thank you.
