obur

obur is a minimalistic http speedtest library. It can test download speed between client and server. You can use it via command line or inside your python program.

Installation

pip install obur

Usage

Command Line

obur <target_url>

You can give some optional parameters via command line interface:

usage: obur [-h] [--duration DURATION] [--chunk-size CHUNK_SIZE]
          [--threshold THRESHOLD]
          [--standard-deviation-count STANDARD_DEVIATION_COUNT]
          [--speed-window-size SPEED_WINDOW_SIZE]
          [--time-interval TIME_INTERVAL]
          url

Calculate speed test between client an server.

positional arguments:
  url                   Destination address

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --duration DURATION   Max speed test duration.
  --chunk-size CHUNK_SIZE
                      Chunk Size
  --threshold THRESHOLD
                      Speed threshold in percentage for determining
                      stabilitiy.
  --standard-deviation-count STANDARD_DEVIATION_COUNT
                      Standard deviation count
  --speed-window-size SPEED_WINDOW_SIZE
                      Speed window size in seconds.
  --time-interval TIME_INTERVAL
                      Time interval in seconds. Get data points in every
                      this interval.

Python Program

from obur import measure

measure(url, duration=60, chunk_size=1024)

Important Note

For a healthy and accurate speed test result, the target url should be a stream url. You can use puke on the server side for providing a dummy stream url.
