Linux的ping用python,通过linux进行ping，并以python格式获得输出

我正在尝试创建一个小脚本，提供whois和外部ip并ping一个站点来找到它的雕像。我的代码运行良好，除了ping部分。它是平的，但不是我所要求的3。我试着在ubuntu服务器上运行有什么建议吗？在import os

os.system("clear") # clear the screen

inp = input("Enter your choice from the menu: \n1) To find your external IP address\n2) To check domain name whois information\n3) To check if the website or ip address is up\n")

if (inp == "1"):

print("Your external ip address is: ") # me trying to be smart XD

ip = os.system("dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com")

#print("Your external ip address is: %d" % ip)

elif (inp == "2"):

domain = input("Enter the domain you want to whois it: \n")

info = os.system("whois %s" % domain)

print(info)

elif (inp == "3"):

target = input("Enter the url or ip address you want to check:\n")

for x in range(3):

response = os.system("ping %s" % target)

if (response == 1): # how can I decide based on response result ?

print("%s is up" % target)

else:

print("%s is down" % target)
