simple python IP pinger

[MyrinNew]

ill be showing you a example of a super simple ip pinger which works on all operating systems






from os import system # for clearing the screen
import platform # for identifying os
import subprocess # for running other commands example ping

# ANSI color codes
YELLOW = "\033[33m"
GREEN = "\033[32m"
RED = "\033[31m"
RESET = "\033[0m"

# platform check to make program cross platform
if platform.system().lower() == 'windows':
clear = 'cls'
else:
clear = 'clear'

# whats point of a tool if u dont have ascii???
ascii = (r"""

""")

def ping(host):
# diff command for diff OS
if platform.system().lower() == 'windows':
param = '-n'
else:
param = '-c'
command = ['ping', param, '1', host] # command for the ping

try:
result = subprocess.run(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
# subprocess.run - runs the command we give it
# stdout=subprocess.PIPE - stores the success msg
# stderr=subprocess.PIPE - stores the error msg
return result.returncode == 0 # returns 0 [success] if no issues

except Exception:
return False # return false [error] if there is a issue

# main program
while True:
system(clear) # clears screen
print(ascii) # print our 10/10 ascii
print(f"{GREEN}[!] select an option :{RESET}\n")
print(f"{YELLOW}[1] start pinger{RESET}")
print(f"{YELLOW}[2] exit{RESET}\n")

opt = input(f"{YELLOW}[>] {RESET}")

if opt == "1": #
system(clear)
print(f"{GREEN}[!] enter ip :{RESET}")
ip = input(f"{YELLOW}[>] {RESET}") # getting ip by user

print(f"{GREEN}[!] pinging {ip} ...{RESET}")

if ping(ip): # using our function to check if ip is reachable
print(f"{GREEN}[+] {ip} is reachable!{RESET}")
else:
print(f"{RED}[-] {ip} is not reachable.{RESET}")

input(f"\n{YELLOW}Press Enter to continue...{RESET}")

elif opt == "2": # breaks out of while loop if user exits
break







the actual logic behind this is extremely simple [it looks big cause of the extra ASCII and unnecessary look i gave it but honestly i don't really care is it ever a cool terminal tool if it doesn't have ASCII
