MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_IP_ADDRESSES does not work.

How does “else: client_ip_address = get_client_ip_address_func(request)_” (1st one) work?

 if settings.MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_IP_ADDRESSES:
        if settings.MAINTENANCE_MODE_GET_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS:
            try:
                get_client_ip_address_func = import_string(
                    settings.MAINTENANCE_MODE_GET_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS)
            except ImportError:
                raise ImproperlyConfigured(
                    'settings.MAINTENANCE_MODE_GET_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS '
                    'is not a valid function path.')
            else:
                client_ip_address = get_client_ip_address_func(request)_
        else:
            client_ip_address = get_client_ip_address(request)

        for ip_address in settings.MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_IP_ADDRESSES:

            ip_address_re = re.compile(ip_address)

            if ip_address_re.match(client_ip_address):
                return False

@fabiocaccamo I installed ipware and wrote MAINTENANCE_MODE_GET_CLIENT_IP_ADDRESS = ‘ipware.ip.get_ip’ right before MAINTENANCE_MODE_IGNORE_IP_ADDRESSES in settings.py as you suggested and it worked! Thank you for your support:)

@Hoshitter1 as you can read, there is not a perfect solution.

I will suggest in the README to use django-ipware, I could do it by default but I prefere to keep this library dependency-free.

Any suggestion is appreciated.
