* Package name : python-ping3 Version : 4.0.4 Upstream Contact: kyan001 <ykyan...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/kyan001/ping3 * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : Python module and command to ping hosts using raw sockets Ping3 is a pure Python 3 version of the ICMP ping implementation using raw sockets. This package installs the library for Python 3 and also the "ping3" command. --------- This is a soft dependency of "simplemonitor" (ITP #1016113). "Soft" dependency because simplemonitor can operate without it if not using the monitor "ping" (and, instead, using the monitor "host" which spawns /usr/bin/ping). Users using "simplemonitor" in Debian, if "ping3" is not available, would not be able to share files between a simplemonitor from pypi or from Debian. Using python-ping3 in simplemonitor also improve efficiency. I plan to maintain it isnide the debian-python team. I am looking for a sponsor.
