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.

Project have been forked by Pierre Bourdon adds a setup.py file in order to permit an
easier distribution of the package. 

This fork by Jean Arhainx adds a python3 compatibility. 
The license of the library remains unchanged (GPLv2), see COPYING.
