编程ICMP ping很复杂，因为发送原始ICMP包需要更高的权限，而且调用ping二进制很难看。对于服务器监控，您可以使用TCP ping技术实现相同的结果:

# pip3 install tcping
>>> from tcping import Ping
# Ping(host, port, timeout)
>>> ping = Ping('212.69.63.54', 22, 60)
>>> ping.ping(3)
Connected to 212.69.63.54[:22]: seq=1 time=23.71 ms
Connected to 212.69.63.54[:22]: seq=2 time=24.38 ms
Connected to 212.69.63.54[:22]: seq=3 time=24.00 ms

在内部，这只是建立一个到目标服务器的TCP连接，并立即丢弃它，测量所消耗的时间。这个特殊的实现有点局限，因为它不能处理封闭的端口，但对于您自己的服务器来说，它工作得很好。

有一个名为pyping的模块可以做到这一点。可以用pip安装

pip install pyping

它使用起来非常简单，但是，当使用这个模块时，您需要root访问权限，因为它在底层制作原始数据包。

import pyping

r = pyping.ping('google.com')

if r.ret_code == 0:
    print("Success")
else:
    print("Failed with {}".format(r.ret_code))

我借鉴了其他答案。尝试简化和最小化查询。

import platform, os

def ping(host):
    result = os.popen(' '.join(("ping", ping.param, host))).read()
    return 'ttl=' in result.lower()

ping.param = "-n 1" if platform.system().lower() == "windows" else "-c 1"

编辑:根据奥利维尔B的评论，忽略返回的大小写。

如果你不需要支持Windows，这里有一个非常简洁的方法:

import os
hostname = "google.com" #example
response = os.system("ping -c 1 " + hostname)

#and then check the response...
if response == 0:
  print hostname, 'is up!'
else:
  print hostname, 'is down!'

这是因为如果连接失败，ping将返回一个非零值。(实际返回值因网络错误而异。)您还可以使用'-t'选项更改ping超时(以秒为单位)。注意，这将向控制台输出文本。

在linux上，可以创建ICMP数据报(不是原始)套接字，而不需要root(或setuid或CAP_NET_RAW): https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/592914。最后我得到了

    sock.settimeout(10.0)
    start_time = time.time_ns() # python 3.7+ only

    payload = struct.pack('L', start_time)
    sock.sendto(encode(payload), (destination, 0))
    while (time.time_ns() - start_time) // 1_000_000_000 < 10:
        try:
            data, source = sock.recvfrom(256)
        except socket.timeout:
            print('timed out')
            return
        message_type, message_code, check, identifier, sequence_number = struct.unpack('bbHHh', data[:8])
        if source == (destination, 0) and message_type == ICMP.ECHO_REPLY and data[8:] == payload:
            print((time.time_ns() - start_time) // 1_000_000, 'ms')
            break
        else:
            print('got unexpected packet from %s:' % source[0], message_type, data[8:])
    else:
        print('timed out')

def encode(payload: bytes):
    # calculate checksum with check set to 0
    checksum = calc_checksum(icmp_header(ICMP.ECHO_REQUEST, 0, 0, 1, 1) + payload)
    # craft the packet again with the checksum set
    return icmp_header(ICMP.ECHO_REQUEST, 0, checksum, 1, 1) + payload

def icmp_header(message_type, message_code, check, identifier, sequence_number) -> bytes:
    return struct.pack('bbHHh', message_type, message_code, check, identifier, sequence_number)
