Summary
-------

pingparsing is a python library of parsing ping command output.

Usage
=====

Execute ping and parse
----------------------

``PingTransmitter`` class can execute ``ping`` command and obtain the
ping output as a string.

Sample code
~~~~~~~~~~~

https://github.com/thombashi/pingparsing/blob/master/examples/ping_sample.py

Sample output: Debian 8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: console

./ping_sample.py -d 192.168.0.1
# returncode ---
0

# properties ---
packet_transmit: 10 packets
packet_receive: 10 packets
packet_loss: 0.0 %
rtt_min: 0.445
rtt_avg: 1.069
rtt_max: 4.854
rtt_mdev: 1.312

# asdict ---
{
"packet_loss": 0.0,
"packet_receive": 10,
"packet_transmit": 10,
"rtt_min": 0.445,
"rtt_max": 4.854,
"rtt_mdev": 1.312,
"rtt_avg": 1.069
}

Example execution result: Windows 10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: console

>ping_sample.py -d google.com
# returncode ---
0

# properties ---
packet_transmit: 10 packets
packet_receive: 10 packets
packet_loss: 0.0 %
rtt_min: 30.0
rtt_avg: 37.0
rtt_max: 58.0
rtt_mdev: None

# asdict ---
{
"rtt_avg": 37.0,
"rtt_max": 58.0,
"packet_loss": 0.0,
"packet_transmit": 10,
"rtt_min": 30.0,
"rtt_mdev": null,
"packet_receive": 10
}

Note: ``rtt_mdev`` not available with Windows


Parsing ``ping`` command output
-------------------------------

Sample code

Recommended ping command execution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following methods are recommended to execute ``ping`` command for
parsing. These will change the locale setting to English temporarily.

Linux
^^^^^

.. code:: console

LC_ALL=C ping <host or IP address> -w <seconds> [option] > <output.file>

Windows
^^^^^^^

.. code:: console

> chcp
Active code page: <XXX> # get current code page

> chcp 437 # change code page to english
> ping <host or IP address> -n <ping count> > <output.file>
> chcp <XXX> # restore code page

Installation
============

::

pip install pingparsing


Dependencies
============

Python 2.7+ or 3.3+

- `logbook <http://logbook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`__
- `pyparsing <https://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/>`__
- `six <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six/>`__
- `typepy <https://github.com/thombashi/typepy>`__

Test dependencies
-----------------

- `pytest <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest>`__
- `pytest-runner <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-runner>`__
- `tox <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tox>`__


Tested Environment
==================

+--------------+-----------------------------------+
| OS | ping version |
+==============+===================================+
| Debian 8.6 | iputils-ping 20121221-5+b2 |
+--------------+-----------------------------------+
| Fedora 24 | iputils-20160308-3.fc24.x86\_64 |
+--------------+-----------------------------------+
| Windows 10 | ``-`` |
+--------------+-----------------------------------+

Premise
=======

This library expects locale setup to English. Parsing the ``ping``
command output with any other locale may fail. This is because the
output of the ``ping`` command is changed depending on the locale
setting.
