Thanks you decoded in greek-iso, coll thinking!

But llok:

Why can the host varibale be unset since iam using this:


try:
	gi = pygeoip.GeoIP('/usr/local/share/GeoIPCity.dat')
	city = gi.time_zone_by_addr( os.environ['REMOTE_ADDR'] ) or 
gi.time_zone_by_addr( os.environ['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'] )
	host = socket.gethostbyaddr( os.environ['REMOTE_ADDR'] ) or 
socket.gethostbyaddr( os.environ['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'] ) or 'Αγνωστη 
Προέλευση'
except Exception as e:
	err = repr(e)

==================
it gets set to string 'Αγνωστη Προέλευση' if in case visitor's remote ip 
address cannot be resolved.

So that error should arise at all.
