pingparser parses the output of the system ping command.
You can pipe ping command output into pingparser.py on the command line, which
outputs the parsed result to stdout in a customizable output format (see
./pingparser.py --help for details):
$ ping -c 5 www.google.com | ./pingparser.py +%h %s %r %m %M %a www.l.google.com 5 5 14.711 26.378 19.621
Or in Python you can call pingparser.parse(ping_output), which returns
a dictionary containing the parsed fields:
>>> import pingparser
>>> pingparser.parse('''
... PING www.l.google.com (74.125.225.84) 56(84) bytes of data.
... 64 bytes from 74.125.225.84: icmp_req=1 ttl=55 time=13.9 ms
... 64 bytes from 74.125.225.84: icmp_req=2 ttl=55 time=21.4 ms
...
... --- www.l.google.com ping statistics ---
... 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 5072ms
... rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 13.946/17.682/21.418/3.736 ms''')
{'received': '2', 'jitter': '3.736', 'avgping': '17.682', 'minping': '13.946', 'host': 'www.l.google.com', 'maxping': '21.418', 'sent': '2'}
