对于python3，有一个非常简单方便的python模块ping3:(pip安装ping3，需要root权限)。

from ping3 import ping, verbose_ping
ping('example.com')  # Returns delay in seconds.
>>> 0.215697261510079666

这个模块还允许自定义一些参数。

因为我喜欢让我的Python程序在2.7和3版本上通用。在Linux, Mac OS和Windows平台上，我必须修改现有的示例。

# shebang does not work over all platforms
# ping.py  2016-02-25 Rudolf
# subprocess.call() is preferred to os.system()
# works under Python 2.7 and 3.4
# works under Linux, Mac OS, Windows

def ping(host):
    """
    Returns True if host responds to a ping request
    """
    import subprocess, platform

    # Ping parameters as function of OS
    ping_str = "-n 1" if  platform.system().lower()=="windows" else "-c 1"
    args = "ping " + " " + ping_str + " " + host
    need_sh = False if  platform.system().lower()=="windows" else True

    # Ping
    return subprocess.call(args, shell=need_sh) == 0

# test call
print(ping("192.168.17.142"))

如果您的服务器不支持ICMP(防火墙可能会阻止它)，它很可能仍然在TCP端口上提供服务。在这种情况下，你可以像这样执行TCP ping1(平台独立，无需安装额外的python模块):

import socket

def isReachable(ipOrName, port, timeout=2):
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    s.settimeout(timeout)
    try:
        s.connect((ipOrName, int(port)))
        s.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR)
        return True
    except:
        return False
    finally:
        s.close()

代码从这里开始只做了轻微的修改。

1 TCP ping并不真正存在，因为ping是在ISO/OSI第三层用ICMP执行的。TCP ping在ISO/OSI第4层执行。它只是试图以最基本的方式连接到TCP端口，即不传输任何数据，而是在连接后立即关闭连接。

此函数适用于任何操作系统(Unix、Linux、macOS和Windows) Python 2和Python 3

编辑: @radato os。System被subprocess.call取代。这避免了在没有验证主机名字符串的情况下shell注入漏洞。

import platform    # For getting the operating system name
import subprocess  # For executing a shell command

def ping(host):
    """
    Returns True if host (str) responds to a ping request.
    Remember that a host may not respond to a ping (ICMP) request even if the host name is valid.
    """

    # Option for the number of packets as a function of
    param = '-n' if platform.system().lower()=='windows' else '-c'

    # Building the command. Ex: "ping -c 1 google.com"
    command = ['ping', param, '1', host]

    return subprocess.call(command) == 0

注意，根据Windows上的@ikrase，如果你得到一个目标主机不可达错误，这个函数仍然会返回True。

解释

该命令在Windows和类unix系统中都是ping。 选项-n (Windows)或-c (Unix)控制包的数量，在本例中设置为1。

platform.system()返回平台名称。前女友。macOS上的“达尔文”。 Subprocess.call()执行一个系统调用。例如subprocess.call ([' ls ', ' - l '])。

import os #to get clear screen
import subprocess as sp #to get system ping
os.system("clear") #clear screen
print('Wait or Press Ctrl+Z to Terminate\n') #notice to terminate or wait
for i in range(255): #0 to 255 loop
    ip='192.168.1.'+str(i) #concatenating str and int
    s,r=sp.getstatusoutput("ping -c1 -w2 " + ip) #ping and store status in s
    if s==0: #if status is 0 equal to pass
        print(ip+" is UP ✓ ") #output
    else: #if status is not 0 equal to fail
        pass #skip and try next ip from loop

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

    payload = struct.pack('L', start_time)
