OSError: [Errno 65] No route to host

Thanks for you feedback.

The EXCEPTION switch only affects PingError exceptions, such as TTL expired, Destination Unreachable, etc. These errors are usually reported by the packets that are received, except for Timeout. The OSError exceptions, such as permission denied or WIFI disconnected, should be handled by the ping3 user, not by ping3 itself.

I hope my explanation has clarified the situation and resolved your concern. If you agree with me, I will close this issue as solved. However, if you still have a different opinion or any questions, please feel free to discuss with me.

I use ping for connectivity check. It feels strange, that I get inconsistent behavior between a routing failure on a remote host and on local host. I expect a library to hide the low level details from me, when I do connectivity check (unlike exceptions mode, where details are expected and requested).
