The STARTINFO class is only available on Windows. Clearly stated in the docs:

which class is for kali linux?? I want to use the ping command contained in kali linux

@siamakafra There isn't a corresponding class.

output = subprocess.Popen(['ping', '-n', '1', '-w', '500', str(all_hosts[i])], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, startupinfo=info).communicate()[0]
