The logic is very simple, the implementation less so, but still not too
difficult:

- configure your uo server to listen on port A
- configure your Python program to listen on port B
- configure your uo client to transmit to port B
- your Python server then accepts all packets on port B, and then forwards
whatever ones it isn't interested in to port A
- anything your Python program receives from port A it forwards to the
client

Basically, to the server, it looks like your Python program is the client,
and to the client, it looks like the Python program is the server.
