ipinfo return an error (IndexError: tuple index out of range) when details of specific IP address is not available.

I am getting IndexError for following code

import ipinfo
access_token = '************'
handler = ipinfo.getHandler(access_token)
ip_country = lambda x:handler.getDetails(x).country


df1['country'] = df1["IP_address"].apply(ip_country)

There are few IP address for which it gives IndexError. For Example : 192.168.73.231, 10.62.100.139
If we try handler.getDetails('10.62.100.139').country, it will retrun IndexError:tuple index out of range.

Can you edit ipinfo package that it return NAN in such cases?

@dc-aichara Hey, we'll check this one out tomorrow! Sorry for any inconvenience.

@dc-aichara So the issue is that those IPs are designated as private IPs, and can never have a definitive location. What that also means is you'll get a AttributeError if you try to reference a field that doesn't exist for private IPs, like the country.

So I've opened #11 for fixing the IndexError that happens within the library, but consumers will need to ensure they handle private IPs properly.
