Hello.
Is it possible to check if an IP address has been received and if there is Internet access in python
I am trying to write a program to change ip and mac addresses when the Internet connection is lost

Answer 1

The simplest thing is to ping some resource on the Internet.

import os
hostname = "8.8.8.8" 
response = os.system("ping -c 1 " + hostname)
if response == 1:
  print('is up!')
