As asked, I would like my script to check network bandwidth giving me any idea how fast user can surf through web. Is there any library, which allows me to specify size of package to be send and gives ping time or whatever?

This answer mentions a Python implementation of ping that returns the ICMP packet's round-trip time. You can use the improved code from the comment: https://gist.github.com/255009.

But note that since it uses raw sockets, your Python script will need to run as root.
