Use as a Python lib:
>>> import pyping
>>> r = pyping.ping('example.com') # Need to be root or
>>> r = pyping.ping('example.com', udp = True) # But it's udp, not real icmp
>>> r.ret_code
0
>>> r.destination
'example.com'
>>> r.max_rtt
'69.374'
>>> r.avg_rtt
'68.572'
>>> r.min_rtt
'67.681'
>>> r.destination_ip
'92.243.5.143'
