how could I do?

Answer 1

To continuously ping an IP

os.system("ping -t 192.168.1.1")

Answer 2

If you want to use Windows ping, you'll have to parse the output from the command line.

This is very specific, but should work:

import os
while(1):
    ping = os.popen('ping www.google.com -n 1')
    result = ping.readlines()
    msLine = result[-1].strip()
    print msLine.splot(' = ')[-1]
