 metrics-utils.git is also fine, but we'll have to clone and then delete
 the rest of the stuff in metrics-utils. pygeodate/pygeodate.py would be
 ok. /pygeodate.py would be better. The former would involve doing
 {{{import pygeodate.pygeodate as pygeodate}}} while the latter would be
 {{{import pygeodate}}}.

 I'd rather want to avoid creating yet another repository for this tool.
 I'm currently working on [https://github.com/ioerror/blockfinder
 blockfinder] together with Jake, where I want to include support for
 multiple GeoIP or AS databases.  I plan to reuse some of the
 `pygeodate.py` code for that.  This is going to take another month or two,
 so I suggest we copy `pygeodate.py` to wherever we need it, including
 subdirectories of `metrics-tasks.git`.  But moving the multi-database code
 code to blockfinder is the better solution in the long term, because it's
 more likely to see maintenance updates if it's contained in a tool that we
 use for other purposes, too.  I'm closing this ticket, because the task is
 done.
