You should find something simple like this works - inetd is supposed
to make writing internet daemons easy!

import sys

while 1:
    bfr = sys.stdin.read(1024)
    sys.stdout.write(bfr)

You can then test the code on the command line by typing stuff to it
and seeing it print its output.

Beware buffering though!
