Okay, I misunderstood the direction you wanted to go. I thought that you 
wanted to play the part of the mother, giving commands to the child and 
not the other way around.

Assuming you're on a *nix make child.py as:

import os
os.system("netcat -l -p 1234 localhost")

Run it though mother and on another terminal type: netcat localhost 1234

HTH,
