The return type for maxminddb.open_database() has been simplified to be just the Reader class as opposed to a union of that with the extension class. This is done by casting the extension to Reader. The extension class has the same public API as the pure Python implementation. This simplifies type checking for users of this library. The Reader class is exposed as maxminddb.Reader. Pull request by wouter bolsterlee. GitHub #88.
maxminddb.__all__ is now set to define a public API. Pull request by wouter bolsterlee. GitHub #88.
