parping 0.0.2

A simple parallel ipv4 ping utility

Simple parallel ipv4 ping library / cli utility.

Cli accepts ip range input, e.g. 10.10.10.1-255, and returns 2 lists, responding and non-responding ips

This originated from need to quick-check many IPs after disaster-recovery excercises. intended to be moldable, and propably offers most of its value as an example of using python lists in unusual ways :)
