Ok, I've worked on this some more and I've taken your recommendation to use a pure Python implementation available here (http:// svn.pylucid.net/pylucid/CodeSnippets/ping.py)
I have this set as a default.py controller in my web2py environment for my app project. Say, I wish to call this controller and run it from my app view (When a user visits default/index.html the results from ping.py are displayed in it) - Is this hard to do? Thanks for your help guys - this is a major learning curve for me On Mar 20, 2:15 pm, dave_mcgee <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tim!
