Hi,
I was wondering if there was a ping implementation written in
Python. I'd rather using a Python module that implements ping in a
platform/OS-independent way than rely on the underlying OS, especially
as every OS has a different implementation. Furthermore, if you're
going to ping a large number of IPs, using a module would probably be
a lot faster. Any ideas if such a module exists? Thanks.

There's no point in having a script that pings things, especially
large numbers of IPs. If you really want to do network scanning other
tools for that already exist.

Thanks. Actually, I was more interested in the OS neutral part than
in pinging a large number of IPs. Instead, I want to ping a number of
IPs (under 10) in an OS/platform independent manner and take the
necessary action depending on the results. Thanks.

Get Scapy, it's one of the best tool for this kind of problem, and it's
Python based

Thanks for your replies. I'll probably start invesigating with
Roger's suggestion. Scapy would definitely be able to do the job, but
it's a little too much if all I want is to ping the host.
Furthermore, to even get it to run on an OS such as Windows, you have
to install a number of additional packages (refer to http://trac.secdev.org/scapy/wiki/Wi...tallationGuide) which will
make deployment in an OS/platform neutral way more difficult. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Greetings,
I'm in need of a simple GUI application that "monitors" a range of
hosts using ping and reports on their status by changing the panel
color for that host (i.e, green for pingable, red for unreachable).
Does anyone know of any existing opensource program that does this?
Preferably Python so I can extend it easily.
If not, what tools would you recommend I write this kind of app in?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
