Start odoo-bin shell with `--geoip_country_db='/i/dont/exist'` and type
the following code:
from odoo.http import GeoIP
GeoIP('8.8.8.8').country_code
TypeError: The country method cannot be used with the GeoLite2-City
database
There are two "things" here: the raw country and city entries in the
databases and the rich python country and city objects returned when an
entry was found and parsed.
Then there are two "readers", a reader capable of reading and parsing
entries from the city database and **another** reader for the country.
The two readers are **only** compatible with their specific database:
the city reader cannot read or parse information from the country
database and vis-versa. That's the bug reported by the TypeError that
this commit fixes.
But, the two python instances created from parsing the entries of
respecting databases with respecting parsers **do** share a same API:
the city record class inherits from the country record class.
# Valid
city_db = geoip2.database.Reader(config['geoip_city_db'])
city_record = city_db.city('8.8.8.8')
city_record.country.name # works, a city record also
# holds country attributes
# Invalid
city_db = geoip2.database.Reader(config['geoip_city_db'])
country_record = city_db.country('8.8.8.8') # TypeError
