Python | Subnet Ping

This script will ping and display status of all hosts in a subnet we provide.

import subprocess
 import ipaddress
 from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
 subnet = input("Please enter the network: ")
 network = ipaddress.ip_network(subnet)
 for i in network.hosts():
  i=str(i)
  toping = subprocess.Popen(['ping', '-c', '3', i], stdout=PIPE)
  output = toping.communicate()[0]
  hostalive = toping.returncode
  if hostalive == 0:
  print(i,'is ' + '\033[92m' + 'reachable' + '\033[0m')
  else:
  print(i,'is ' + '\033[91m' + 'unreachable' + '\033[0m')

That's what the script works:

drm@STENGE % python3 ping-subnet.py
 Please enter the network: 192.168.0.0/29
 192.168.0.1 is reachable
 192.168.0.2 is unreachable
 192.168.0.3 is reachable
 192.168.0.4 is reachable
 192.168.0.5 is reachable
 192.168.0.6 is reachable
