• https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-ping/2011.10.17.376a019
• https://www.g-loaded.eu/2009/10/30/python-ping/
• https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyping/
• https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ping/0.1

This works:

subprocess.check_output(["ping", "-c", "1", "10.0.0.6"])

Have search command written. I need to parse the following:

• host
• packets transmitted
• packets received
• packet loss
• RTT for each request

sourcetype=ping | rex field=_raw " time=(?P<rtt>[^ ]+)"

• https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pingparsing/0.2.5
• https://github.com/thombashi/pingparsing
• http://pingparsing.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/usage/index.html#parsing-ping-command-output

Based on http://pingparsing.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/usage/index.html#parsing-ping-command-output, it appears that parsing may not work on non-English locales.

• six-1.10.0
• pyparsing-2.1.10
• DataProperty 0.16.0 (https://github.com/thombashi/DataProperty/releases)

DataProperty has a bunch of deps including pytz https://github.com/thombashi/DataProperty#dependencies

pingparsing doesn't handle mac apparently.

Using this one now: https://github.com/ssteinerx/pingparser/blob/master/pingparser.py

Need to test on Windows and Unix
