Ping a site in Python

Question

How do I ping a website or IP address with Python

User · Answer

If you want something actually in Python, that you can play with, have a look at Scapy:

from scapy.all import *
request = IP(dst="www.google.com")/ICMP()
answer = sr1(request)

That's in my opinion much better (and fully cross-platform), than some funky subprocess calls. Also you can have as much information about the answer (sequence ID.....) as you want, as you have the packet itself.

using subprocess ping command to ping decode it because the response is binary  import subprocess ping response   subprocess Popen   quot ping quot    quot -a quot    quot google com quot    stdout subprocess PIPE  stdout read   result   ping response decode  utf-8   print result

It s hard to say what your question is  but there are some alternatives   If you mean to literally execute a request using the ICMP ping protocol  you can get an  ICMP library and execute the ping request directly   Google  Python ICMP  to find things like this icmplib    You might want to look at scapy  also   This will be much faster than using os system  ping     ip       If you mean to generically  ping  a box to see if it s up  you can use the echo protocol on port 7   For echo  you use the socket library to open the IP address and port 7   You write something on that port  send a carriage return    r n   and then read the reply   If you mean to  ping  a web site to see if the site is running  you have to use the http protocol on port 80   For or properly checking a web server  you use urllib2 to open a specific URL     index html is always popular  and read the response    There are still more potential meaning of  ping  including  traceroute  and  finger

Use this it s tested on python 2 7 and works fine it returns ping time in milliseconds if success and return False on fail   import platform subproccess re def Ping hostname timeout       if platform system       Windows           command  ping   hostname   -n 1 -w   str timeout 1000      else          command  ping -i   str timeout    -c 1     hostname     proccess   subprocess Popen command  stdout subprocess PIPE      matches re match    time   0-9   ms     proccess stdout read   re DOTALL      if matches          return matches group 1      else           return False

Depending on what you want to achive  you are probably easiest calling the system ping command    Using the subprocess module is the best way of doing this  although you have to remember the ping command is different on different operating systems   import subprocess  host    www google com   ping   subprocess Popen        ping    -c    4   host       stdout   subprocess PIPE      stderr   subprocess PIPE    out  error   ping communicate   print out   You don t need to worry about shell-escape characters  For example    host    google com   echo test      will not execute the echo command   Now  to actually get the ping results  you could parse the out variable  Example output   round-trip min avg max stddev   248 139 249 474 250 530 0 896 ms   Example regex   import re matcher   re compile  round-trip min avg max stddev     d   d     d   d     d   d     d   d     print matcher search out  groups        248 139    249 474    250 530    0 896     Again  remember the output will vary depending on operating system  and even the version of ping   This isn t ideal  but it will work fine in many situations  where you know the machines the script will be running on

Depending on what you want to achive  you are probably easiest calling the system ping command    Using the subprocess module is the best way of doing this  although you have to remember the ping command is different on different operating systems   import subprocess  host    www google com   ping   subprocess Popen        ping    -c    4   host       stdout   subprocess PIPE      stderr   subprocess PIPE    out  error   ping communicate   print out   You don t need to worry about shell-escape characters  For example    host    google com   echo test      will not execute the echo command   Now  to actually get the ping results  you could parse the out variable  Example output   round-trip min avg max stddev   248 139 249 474 250 530 0 896 ms   Example regex   import re matcher   re compile  round-trip min avg max stddev     d   d     d   d     d   d     d   d     print matcher search out  groups        248 139    249 474    250 530    0 896     Again  remember the output will vary depending on operating system  and even the version of ping   This isn t ideal  but it will work fine in many situations  where you know the machines the script will be running on

If you want something actually in Python, that you can play with, have a look at Scapy:

from scapy.all import *
request = IP(dst="www.google.com")/ICMP()
answer = sr1(request)

That's in my opinion much better (and fully cross-platform), than some funky subprocess calls. Also you can have as much information about the answer (sequence ID.....) as you want, as you have the packet itself.
