Yep.  You can get an 11MB database (17MB uncompressed)

http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/downloadable/

which you can use to either populate an existing database with
the .CSV data there, or use the binary data blob in concert with the
Python API

https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-python  # Python + C
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pygeoip/         # pure Python
