How can I make a python API to ping an ip address?

import flask
from pythonping import ping

app = flask.Flask(__name__)
app.config["DEBUG"] = True


@app.route('/', methods=['GET'])
def home():
    return ping('127.0.0.1', verbose=True)

app.run()

import requests
url = 'https://stackoverflow.com/'
is_up = requests.get(url).status_code == 200
print(f'{url}, up_status={is_up}')
