    Win32 ping

    Does anyone know of an ping module that will work with Windows?

    I'm currently using os.popen("ping -n1 host") but it's terribly slow
    when using it a few hundred times.

    After enumerating my domain of machines I'm trying to ping them to
    determine if they are active before connecting to them via WMI (which
    takes forever to timeout).

      Jeremy Hylton's code works well on Windows. It's fairly straightforward
      to code up an asynchronous loop to allow pinging a few hundred ip
      addresses (using the ping module primarily to properly encode the
      packets). I'm wondering, however, if you couldn't simply set the
      timeout lower for the connections?

      HTH,
      Mike

          Huh?

          You may try downloading this file:

          http://www.sil-tec.gr/~tzot/python/wiping.tgz


          Inside, there are the ping, icmp, inet and ip modules that (I believe) I
          found in Jeremy Hylton's page; you can study their usage in the
          wiping.py file (which is a quick-and-dirty rewrite of one of my first
          Tkinter python programs, so I am not very proud of the state of the
          code; just check the ping module use). Standard disclaimers apply.
