Please use code tags. See "How to ask a question" in Posting Guidelines. When a ping request makes no connection, the data returned looks like this:

>>> result
['Pinging 192.168.1.43 with 32 bytes of data:', 'Request timed out.', 'Request timed out.', 'Request timed out.', 'Request timed out.', 'Ping statistics for 192.168.1.43:', 'Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),']
>>> 

Since there are only 7 items in the list, attempting to access the item at list index 8 will produce an IndexError.
