Pinging a machine from python

[Prasanth]

I tried pinging a machine from python using socket programming but
could not do it. Is there any module which we can use to ping the
machine < like net::ping in perl> or can you give me simple program.

Thanks for the solution guys.

But the above program is giving the output as :

If we print pingresult it is giving the output as :

['\r\n', 'Pinging 0.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:\r\n', '\r\n',
'Request timed out.\r\n', '\r\n', 'Ping statistics for 0.168.1.1:\r
\n', 'Packets: Sent = 1, Received = 0, Lost = 1 (100% loss),\r\n']

my requirement is

IP address and whether the machine is pinging or not. we should not
display the above output. However we can do it by using regular
expression or there is any other way. Please suggest.

Thanks,
Prasanth.

How to call a method returning a value from a main function

[prasanth kotagiri]

#!/sur/bin/env python

import sys
import jwt
import argparse
from calendar import timegm
from datetime import datetime
import uuid

class TokenGenerator:
def __init__(self, args):
self.macKey = args.authzSystemMacKey
self.authzSystemId = args.authzSystemId
self.permissions = args.permissions
self.configurationId = args.configurationId
self.tokenExpiry = args.tokenExpiryInSeconds

def generate(self):
payload = {
'iss': self.authzSystemId,
'aud': 'qed:' + self.configurationId,
'sub': 'admin:tokengen.py',
'qedp': self.permissions,
'exp': timegm(datetime.utcnow().utctimetuple()) + self.tokenExpiry
}
if self.tokenExpiry <= 300: # less than 5minutes
payload['jti'] = str(uuid.uuid1())
return jwt.encode(payload, self.macKey, algorithm='HS256')

class JWTParms:
 pass



def GenAccessToken(mackey,authid,configid,tokenexp,*perm):
args=JWTParms()
args.configurationId=configid
args.authzSystemMacKey=mackey
args.authzSystemId=authid
args.tokenExpiryInSeconds=tokenexp
args.permissions=perm
tokenGen=TokenGenerator(args)
tok=tokenGen.generate()
return tok

if __name__ == '__main__':
  
GenAccessToken("This_is_a_Test_QED_MAC_Key_Which_Needs_to_be_at_Least_32_Bytes_Long",
 "default", "default", 6,
   "g,m,a,s,c,p,d")

when i am calling the above method it is not returning any value but when i use 
print it is printing the value. Is there any wrong in returning the value from 
above method. Please help me ASAP
