I tried geodjango recently, and worked just fine for me, even without installing that C library.
But when I used the same project in the appengine sdk, it fails whenever it tries to import the GeoIP class
then I looked into the differences, I downloaded the new appengine sdk + django 1.2, and the problem remains!
I tried “python manage.py shell”

from django.contrib.gis import utils

utils.HAS_GEOIP #returns False(django in appengine)

but when I do the same thing in a native django app the same line returns True
what am I missing here?

    The GeoIP class is a wrapper around the GeoIP C API. Unfortunately, you can’t use C extensions in appengine, so you can’t use the GeoIP support that comes with Django.

    pygeoip is a GeoIP library implemented in pure Python, you can try to integrate that.
