A Quick Way to Ping in Python

Install

Currently in Test

pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ pypinger

From the CLI

You can use Pyping from the CLI like so

pyping -s 10.10.10.1

Or ping a whole subnet with

pyping -s 10.10.10.0/24

Programmatically

The pypinger function will not only print the output to the console but also will return a list of hosts that had successful pings

from pypinger import pyping

hosts = pyping('10.10.21.0/24')
print(hosts)

Or you can be prompted at runtime for the hosts/subnet

from pypinger import pyping

hosts = pyping()
print(hosts)
