How to use pingping?

  • How to run ping command

It's very simple, create an object of Ping and call ping method with ip address. Internally it calls system ping command and captures the needed result.

obj = Ping()
print(obj.ping('192.168.1.1'))
print(obj.ping('1.1.1.1'))

It's a Json output and easy to understand by the keys of it.

{"ip": "192.168.1.1", "loss_percentage": 100.0}
{"ip": "1.1.1.1", "loss_percentage": 0.0, "min": 55.669, "avg": 78.198, "max": 130.778, "time_in": "ms"}
  • How to capture result from ping output.

I am having ping result how to analise the output of it.

Ping.fetch_ping_data(ping_output) # it's a class method.

It automatically identifies the ip address and important details from it. It doesn't have any language barier.

{"ip": "1.1.1.1", "loss_percentage": 0.0, "min": 55.669, "avg": 78.198, "max": 130.778, "time_in": "ms"}

Pre-requisites

pingping supports both trains of python 2.7+ and 3.1+, the OS should not matter.

FAQ

  • Question: I want to use pingping with Python3, is that safe?
    Answer: As long as you're using python 3.3 or higher, it's safe. I tested every release against python 3.1+, however python 3.1 and 3.2 not running in continuous integration test.

  • Question: I want to use pingping with Python2, is that safe?
    Answer: As long as you're using python 2.7 or higher, it's safe. I tested against python 2.7.
