tkuebler / pyping

port of original pyping 0.0.5 to python 3

Pyping

A pure python ping implementation using raw sockets for python 3.

The original project is abandoned on pypi so for now:

'pip install git+git://github.com/tkuebler/pyping'

Note that ICMP messages can only be sent from processes running as root (in Windows, you must run this script as 'Administrator').

Original Version from Matthew Dixon Cowles.

>>> r = pyping.ping('socketubs.net', udp = True)    # But it's udp, not real icmp
>>> r.ret_code
0
>>> r.destination
'socketubs.net'
>>> r.max_rtt
