I don't consider this a workaround at all. Why reinvent the wheel?
Also: once you're going to deal with low level socket API you're going to run 
into
platform differences anyway.

Indeed, that would work, but it isn't a great approach in my opinion
because I would rely on a system command, in this case Windows uses
tracert while UNIX uses traceroute, one could fix that with a if-else
to check the os and then use the correct command, but it just make it
feel even more like a workaround and not a definitive solution.

import os
os.system("traceroute www.google.com")
