speedtest.Speedtest() python code example

Example 1: how to test wifi speed py

>>> import pyspeedtest
>>> st = pyspeedtest.SpeedTest()
>>> st.ping()
9.306252002716064
>>> st.download()
42762976.92544772
>>> st.upload()
19425388.307319913

Example 2: speedtest py

#pip3 install speedtest-cli

Example 3: how to test wifi speed py

$ pyspeedtest -h
usage: pyspeedtest [OPTION]...

Test your bandwidth speed using Speedtest.net servers.

optional arguments:
  -d L, --debug L   set http connection debug level (default is 0)
  -m M, --mode M    test mode: 1 - download
                               2 - upload
                               4 - ping
                               1 + 2 + 4 = 7 - all (default)
  -r N, --runs N    use N runs (default is 2)
  -s H, --server H  use specific server
  -v, --verbose     output additional information
