It's easy. Search freshmeat for "tcp port forward". If you're using UNIX, you
could even use inetd and netcat to forward the port. Whatever OS you're using
probably has DNAT (Destination NAT), so that's another option. There's no need
to write this in Python, unless, of course, you want to learn more about
Python's TCP features.
