@srgerg’s socket documentation is useful, but if you want to handle multiple sockets simultaneously, you’ll also need other mechanisms, such as select, epoll, or kqueue (depending upon your platform). (You could also spawn multiple processes using fork, or threads if the python threading implementation meets your needs, but both these approaches have enough complications that I’m reluctant to suggest them.)

Another approach is to use Twisted to manage your networking via an event loop, similar to using libevent, but I always found Twisted documentation difficult to follow. Maybe you will have better luck than I did.
