That's the easy part.

    receive(packet)
    if packet.destination_port == 80:
        send(packet)
    else:
        pass
    # :-)

Firewalls are typically implemented in a primitive
high-performance language (C) at the TCP/IP routing layer in the
OS kernel. I don't think this is a good application for an
interpreted high level scripting language like Python, that
typically resides ~3 layers higher in the protocol stack.
