How to write a ping client

[Harlin]

Is there a way to write a ping client? I would like to be able to write
a small ping client so that I dont have to do os.system('ping args')
and thereby keep the resource overhead low. Does anyone know how this
can be done or can point me in the right direction?

thanks,

Harlin

was out there. Thanks!

Please use your powers for good (the one about halting production on

I once followed the same line and used a py module by Jeremy Hylton if
I remember correctly.

But only to find that on the Linux machine I wasn't allowed as non
root to ping from my script. So I went back to the os.system() call.
