Source: python-ping Maintainer: Kristina Clair Section: python Priority: optional Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), python-support (>= 0.8.4) Standards-Version: 3.8.4 Package: python-ping Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${python:Depends} XB-Python-Version: ${python:Versions} Provides: ${python:Provides} Description: An implementation of ICMP ping in Python This library is a fork of George Notaras' python-ping library, which is an implementation of the standard ICMP ping in pure Python. . As it uses raw ICMP sockets, you need to be root to use the functions exported by the ping module. . This fork by Pierre Bourdon adds a setup.py file in order to permit an easier distribution of the package. The license of the library remains unchanged (GPLv2), see COPYING. .
