Yes subprocess is top secret stuff :silenced:

import subprocess

website = "google.com"
ping = subprocess.Popen(["ping", website], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
out, error = ping.communicate()
print(out.decode('utf-8'))

Output:Pinging google.com [193.212.4.59] with 32 bytes of data:
