I want to make a python script that tests the bandwidth of a connection. I am thinking of downloading/uploading a file of a known size using urllib2, and measuring the time it takes to perform this task. I would also like to measure the delay to a given IP address, such as is given by pinging the IP. Is this possible using urllib2?
You can use PyCurl for this. curl_easy_getinfo gives info about:
CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME, CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME, CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME, CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIMEetc.
