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.
