Check if ping was successful using subprocess in python

Question

I execute the ping command in python by opening a cmd window with the ping command using python's subprocess module.
For example:

import subprocess
p = subprocess.Popen('ping 127.0.0.1')

Afterwards I check if the output contains "Reply from 'ip':", to see if the ping was successful.
This works in all cases where the cmd is in english.
What can I do to check if a ping was successful on any cmd language?

Answer 1

Using python on Linux, I would use check_output()

subprocess.check_output(["ping", "-c", "1", "127.0.0.1"])

this will return true if the ping is successful
