# Step 1) Find the public IP of the user. This is easier said that done, look into the library Netifaces if you're
# interested in getting the public IP locally.
# The GeoIP API I'm going to use here is 'https://geojs.io/' but any service offering similar JSON data will work.

#print(my_ip)
# Prints The IP string, ex: 198.975.33.4

# Step 2) Look up the GeoIP information from a database for the user's ip
