icmplib is a brand new and modern implementation of the ICMP protocol
in Python. Use the built-in functions or build your own, you have the
choice!
- Ready-to-use: icmplib offers ready-to-use functions such as the
most popular ones: ping, multiping and traceroute. An extensive
documentation also helps you get started.
- Modern: This library uses the latest mechanisms offered by Python
3.7+ and is fully object-oriented.
- Fast: Each class and function has been designed and optimized to
deliver the best performance. Some functions are also asynchronous
like the async_ping and async_multiping functions. You can ping
the world in seconds!
- Powerful: Use the library without root privileges, set the traffic
class of ICMP packets, customize their payload, send broadcast
requests and more!
- Evolutive: Easily build your own classes and functions with ICMPv4
and ICMPv6 sockets.
- Seamless integration of IPv6: Use IPv6 the same way you use IPv4.
- Cross-platform: Optimized for Linux, macOS and Windows. The library
automatically manages the specificities of each system.
- No dependency: icmplib is a pure Python implementation of the ICMP
protocol. It does not rely on any external dependency.
NOTE: If this package has multiple flavors (see below), then use one of them instead of the name specified above. NOTE: This is a Python port. Instead of py311-icmplib listed in the above command, you can pick from the names under the Packages section.
net/py-icmplib: Add new port
icmplib provides the capability to easily forge ICMP packets to build
ping- and tracroute-like functionality into python scripts. A full
