It's not a complex protocol; you could fairly readily work it
manually. The protocol itself is called RFB - see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFB_protocol which has links to the
official protocol spec. Working it from Python is as simple as
creating a socket (import socket; vnc=socket.socket();
vnc.connect(('address',5900))) and sending and receiving binary data.

If you're setting things up as a test, I recommend playing around with
authentication disabled - it's a lot easier to master the protocol in
its simplest form.
