#33886 closed Bug (fixed)

GeoIP module unnecessarily requires GDAL

Description

The commit ​https://github.com/django/django/commit/31bef51d8ea5e3bf650de1495ae1f0566670b8f3 (in versions 4.1a1 forward) moved the import of django.contrib.gis.geos.Point from the def geos() function to top-level, with the unfortunate side-effect that importing the GeoIP module now requires working GDAL libraries.

The GeoIP module should be usable without GDAL; naturally, returning a GDAL geometry would require GDAL.

My suggested fix would be to revert the above commit; a late import should be fine here.
