#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Other Repositories of python-ping ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * https://github.com/l4m3rx/python-ping supports Python2 and Python3 * https://bitbucket.org/delroth/python-ping About ~~~~~ A pure python ping implementation using raw socket. Note that ICMP messages can only be sent from processes running as root. Derived from ping.c distributed in Linux's netkit. That code is copyright (c) 1989 by The Regents of the University of California. That code is in turn derived from code written by Mike Muuss of the US Army Ballistic Research Laboratory in December, 1983 and placed in the public domain. They have my thanks. Bugs are naturally mine. I'd be glad to hear about them. There are certainly word - size dependenceies here. Copyright (c) Matthew Dixon Cowles, .

Original Version from Matthew Dixon Cowles: -> ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/mdc/ping.py Rewrite by Jens Diemer: -> http://www.python-forum.de/post-69122.html#69122 Rewrite by Johannes Meyer: -> http://www.python-forum.de/viewtopic.php?p=183720 Revision history ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ September 24, 2016 Rewrite by ChIdea: - Editied for Python3 - Renamed verbose_ping() to ping(). VERBOSE is the switch for verbose/quiet mode. - ping() returns average ms of succeed pings or None on failure. November 1, 2010 Rewrite by Johannes Meyer: - changed entire code layout - changed some comments and docstrings - replaced time.clock() with time.time() in order to be able to use this module on linux, too. - added global __all__, ICMP_CODE and ERROR_DESCR - merged functions "do_one" and "send_one_ping" - placed icmp packet creation in its own function - removed timestamp from the icmp packet - added function "multi_ping_query" - added class "PingQuery" May 30, 2007 little rewrite by Jens Diemer: - change socket asterisk import to a normal import - replace time.time() with time.clock() - delete "return None" (or change to "return" only) - in checksum() rename "str" to "source_string" December 4, 2000 Changed the struct.pack() calls to pack the checksum and ID as unsigned. My thanks to Jerome Poincheval for the fix. November 22, 1997 Initial hack. Doesn't do much, but rather than try to guess what features I (or others) will want in the future, I've only put in what I need now. December 16, 1997 For some reason, the checksum bytes are in the wrong order when this is run under Solaris 2.X for SPARC but it works right under Linux x86. Since I don't know just what's wrong, I'll swap the bytes always and then do an htons().
