A Quick Way to Ping in Python

Install

Currently in Test

pip install pypinger==2.0.3

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

Specify ping count

pyping -s 10.15.0.0/28 -c 1

Suppress Printed Output

pyping -s 10.15.0.0/28 -c 2 -p False

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)

Specify counts and print suppression - Note that Printer is string!

from pypinger import pyping

hosts = pyping(subnet="10.15.0.0/28", count=2, printer="False")
print(hosts)
