trying sockets

[Mark Berry]

Without trying to write the code for you, basically your binding a
local socket and trying to serve connections, not just connect to a
remote socket. ;-)

they have pretty simple examples for doing this in the OReilly python
books, or probably any for that matter that covers sockets.

Good luck
