Find the user's IP address in django
When I run my code, I get an error, but I don't know where the problem is.
# Create your views
from django.contrib.gis.utils import GeoIP
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
def home(request):
g = GeoIP()
client_ip = request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']
lat,long = g.lat_lon(client_ip)
return render_to_response('home_page_tmp.html',locals())
KeyError at /mypage/
'REMOTE_ADDR'

It supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and I know it can be used on Python 2/3.
Install pip install django-ipware
Code is
from ipware.ip import get_ip
ip = get_ip(request)
if ip is not None:
print "I found it"
else:
print "I couldn't find it"
You just need to change it slightly to that's all.
If this doesn't work, use the following method. It'll be harder to see than the code above.
def get_client_ip(request):
x_forwarded_for = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')
if x_forwarded_for:
ip = x_forwarded_for.split(',')[0]
else:
ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
return ip
