You don't need all those parenthesis.
from socket import gethostbyname
from time import sleep
import sys
def beep(times=1):
for time in xrange(times):
sys.stdout.write('\a')
sys.stdout.flush()
sleep(.1)
def test_connection(test_host='google.com'):
try:
gethostbyname(test_host)
return True
except socket.gaierror:
return False
while True:
if test_connection():
print "Connected"
beep()
else:
print "Not Connected"
beep(2)
sleep(2)
This is a Quick and Dirty script that beeps once when it is connected to the internet and twice when it fails. The idea is to let me know if the computer is still connected while I am bent over backward, under the desk across the room, screwing with the cables.
