Speedtest python script

Hello there i'm new to python and I'm trying to do speed testing using python getting data from (speedtest.net). I have been looking through git hub and found the speedtest-cli. But it has a lot of features I don't need. I just want to make a simple script that will run 3 times. I found some API but I'm not sure how to modify it to loop three times. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

import speedtest

servers = []
# If you want to test against a specific server
# servers = [1234]
x=0
for x in range(0, 2):
    s = speedtest.Speedtest()
    s.get_servers(servers)
    s.get_best_server()
    s.download()
    s.upload()
    s.results.share()
    results_dict = s.results.dict()

Try, this is best way to fetch net speed. It works in both Android and Windows.

import speedtest

st = speedtest.Speedtest() 
 
while True:  
    download_speed = st.download()
    
    print('Download Speed: {:5.2f} Mb'.format(download_speed/(1024*1024) ))

we can use this way

import speedtest

def getNetSpeed():
    speedTestHelper = speedtest.Speedtest()
    
    speedTestHelper.get_best_server()

    #Check download speed 
    speedTestHelper.download()

    #Check upload speed
    speedTestHelper.upload()

    #generate shareable image
    speedTestHelper.results.share()

    #fetch result
    return speedTestHelper.results.dict()

for i in range(3):
   print(getNetSpeed())

There is a way to use the library much easier Pyspeedtest

import pyspeedtest
st = pyspeedtest.SpeedTest()
st.ping()

    return res["download"], res["upload"], res["ping"]

    with open('file.csv', 'w') as f:

            d, u, p = test()
            f.write('{},{},{}\n'.format(d, u, p))
    # pretty write to txt file
    with open('file.txt', 'w') as f:
        for i in range(3):

            d, u, p = test()
            f.write('Test #{}\n'.format(i+1))
            f.write('Download: {:.2f} Kb/s\n'.format(d / 1024))
            f.write('Upload: {:.2f} Kb/s\n'.format(u / 1024))
            f.write('Ping: {}\n'.format(p))
    # simply print in needed format if you want to use pipe-style: python script.py > file
    for i in range(3):
        d, u, p = test()
        print('Test #{}\n'.format(i+1))
        print('Download: {:.2f} Kb/s\n'.format(d / 1024))
        print('Upload: {:.2f} Kb/s\n'.format(u / 1024))
        print('Ping: {}\n'.format(p))
