Major Rewrite

With version 2.0.0 the implementation undergoes a radical change. Many external dependencies have been dropped entirely (with the exception of pythonping which in its newest version now requires root privileges). The plot option was also removed from this application. You may plot this data yourself with a program of your choice using the CSV save files which you can find here:

sudo speedtest ping --path
speedtest bandwidth --path

Speedtest Patch

Fixes internal speedtest error that prematurely aborted the bandwidth command.

Improve Log Utilities

Makes the speedtest log --read terminal output prettier using rich tables and fixes potential permission errors with respect to the log path for non-root users.

Reset and Read Options

Adds two new flags to ping and bandwidth command, namely --read and --reset.

Bug Fix

Fixed a bug that made accessing the resource files impossible.

More Refined Log Options

Log-related operations are promoted to autonomous methods, see also

speedtest log --help

for more information.

Initial Release

This is the first stable release intended for public use. In comparison to the preview release, it adds an implementation for the plot method as well as improved error handling. Please refer to the README file to access documentation and installation instructions.

Test Preview

This release is a preview built for testing purposes. It currently implements the following methods:

# set default configuration for ping and bandwidth test runs
speedtest config --help

# get ping response data and store results to disk
speedtest ping --save

# get bandwidth (upload and download) stream and store results to disk
speedtest bandwidth --save

# does nothing because this method is not implemented yet
speedtest plot --help
