ip2proxy-python-c's Issues

Python3.9 compat

1. the strings in the sample have to be passed as bytes
   such as

record = db.get_all(b"1.0.4.1")

2. there is a problem in the CDLL module, which is not direclty influenced by this package, but basically you need to modify the init.py of CDLL in line 364 so that

if '/' in name or '\\' in name:

becomes

if name and ('/' in name or '\\' in name):

I know it is not your library, but maybe you can find a workaround meanwhile.

3. I was turning crazy trying to figure out why everything is "-" in the results. I thought the IP2Proxy contained also the geolocation data in addition to the proxy info. I dont know if it is mentioned somewhere in the readme
