Good point. Python has a module for almost anything you would need to do 
on a network. Make sure none of these modules fit your needs.
You could tell us what you want to achieve at a higher level, we may 
point you to a already existing module.

Some of these modules are life saver, as I personnally always wrote 
buggy netcode for whatever reason :(
