See this pure Python ping by Matthew Dixon Cowles and Jens Diemer. Also, remember that Python requires root to spawn ICMP (i.e. ping) sockets in linux.
import ping, socket
try:
ping.verbose_ping('www.google.com', count=3)
delay = ping.Ping('www.wikipedia.org', timeout=2000).do()
except socket.error, e:
print "Ping Error:", e
The source code itself is easy to read, see the implementations of verbose_ping and of Ping.do for inspiration.
