I'm trying to learn networking with python and would like to make a simple ping script that includes the response time as well. I don't really know where to start and if I could use the the socket module to help with this project.

ICMP is a Layer 3 protocol in OSI model, I dont think think you need sockets. – cmidi Feb 02 '15 at 21:25

Why don't you just use the os module from the standard python library:
import os
hosts = [] # list of host addresses
for host in hosts:
os.system('ping ' + host)
