It works both as a standalone command-line tool and as a Python library, letting you execute ping against one or more destinations and extract metrics like round-trip times, packet loss rates, and duplicate counts. The library can also parse ping output from files or standard input, making it useful for post-processing historical ping data or integrating ping results into monitoring pipelines.\n\nThe package depends on humanreadable, pyparsing, subprocrunner, and typepy to handle text parsing, subprocess management, and type validation. It supports Python 3.7 through 3.12 and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The CLI outputs results in JSON format, optionally including detailed ICMP reply information when requested.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to parse ping output programmatically or run ping from a CLI with JSON output. The package is stable and carries no known vulnerabilities. Install friction is low and dependencies are lightweight. The main caveat is dormant maintenance\u2014no updates in 834 days\u2014so if you encounter bugs or need support for new ping output formats, you may need to fork or patch it yourself. Suitable for monitoring, diagnostics, and integration tasks where ping parsing is a small part of a larger system."},"id":"pingparsing","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pingparsing","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pingparsing.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pingparsing/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-05-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pingparsing","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"pingparsing is a CLI-tool/Python-library parser and transmitter for the ping command."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":238405,"position":8939,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.2"}
