network programming - karan - Jul-03-2018 Hi Folks, I am trying to use the following script to check if the IP is active or not, but the result shows active irrespective of the actual status. import sys,os server_ip = '192.168.6.15' rep = os.system('ping ' + server_ip) if rep == 0: print ('server is up ') else: print ('server is down') RE: network programming - Larz60+ - Jul-03-2018 this will work most of the time: import socket class CheckInternet: def __init__(self): self.internet_available = False def check_availability(self): self.internet_available = False if socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()) != '127.0.0.1': self.internet_available = True return self.internet_availableto use: λ python Python 3.7.0 (v3.7.0:1bf9cc5093, Jun 27 2018, 04:59:51) [MSC v.1914 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import CheckInternet >>> >>> ci = CheckInternet.CheckInternet() >>> if not ci.check_availability(): ... print('Pleas activate internet') ... else: ... print('Internet connection found') ... Internet connection found >>> RE: network programming - buran - Jul-03-2018 @Larz60+ if it has to be class, why not just import socket class Internet: @property def available(self): return socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()) != '127.0.0.1' |
