2 months ago Hi,
The count parameter of the ping function has existed since the very first version of the library. It is therefore not normal that this does not work.
Can you check that you have not declared a ping function in your code or that you have not imported a ping function from another library?
Furthermore, can you run the following code and send me the result:
import pydoc
print(pydoc.render_doc(ping))
Just using the basic ping example posted here: https://pypi.org/project/icmplib/
I get the error "ping() got an unexpected keyword argument 'count'"
I am running Python version 3.9 within Visual Studio Community within a Flask App.
The exact code that will not function: hostname = "8.8.8.8" host = ping('8.8.8.8', count=10, interval=0.2) if host.is_alive == True: color = "green" pingresult = hostname + " is up" else: color = "red" pingresult = hostname + " is down"
Not sure what the deal is. Documentation states it should work with Python 3.7+ and the app I am testing with is very very basic use of this. Multiping works fine.
