🔔 Welcome to yaping

A python library for pinging multiple hosts.

It focuses on providing both sync and asynch versions and minimizing the amount of of OS resources (only a single socket is used for handling multiple hosts with multiple ping requests)

Without further ado:

$ python -m asyncio
>>> from yaping.aioping import ping
>>> from yaping.tools import response_text

>>> async for response in ping(["gnu.org", "orcid.org"], count=2):
...    text = response_text(response)
...    print(text)
64 bytes from orcid.org (104.20.228.70): icmp_seq=1 time=4.8ms
64 bytes from gnu.org (209.51.188.116): icmp_seq=1 time=113.4ms
64 bytes from orcid.org (104.20.228.70): icmp_seq=2 time=4.7ms
64 bytes from gnu.org (209.51.188.116): icmp_seq=2 time=118.8ms

Requirements:

• python >= 3.9

Installation

From within your favorite python environment:

$ pip install yaping

To develop, run tests, build package, lint, etc you'll need:

$ pip install yaping[dev]

To run docs you'll need:

$ pip install yaping[docs]

Setup

Some systems require this adjustment to be able to create datagram icmp sockets:

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range="0 2147483647"
