ping command fails: TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number

See original GitHub issue

Observed behavior

I think this fails silently in its own thread. Happened on Python 2.7, not sure why, but traceback is easy to fix.

Expected behavior

n/a

User-facing consequences

None, but ping doesn’t happen

Should be fixed in https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/pull/3045 – note that it’ll need to be merged to release-v0.7.x and then from there merged up into develop (where the fix is needed).
