What's out there for Python that would be suitable?  Any off-the-shelf 
solutions?


You might get some use out of the server/client code here:

Hi,

Not to self-advertise, but I humbly present my networking library,
Mastermind http://www.pygame.org/project/859/.  It's fairly lightweight,
but it's easy to use and get working immediately and contains tutorials and
documentation.  The underlying code is not dissimilar from the toomi.py
code.

Oh--and Alpha Centauri :D
