Are you looking for a Python way of doing this? I would highly recommend
taking a look at ha-proxy as its very robust, simple and fast. If you're
looking to implement this in Python code you may want to use a framework
like Twisted - http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedProject

Twisted provides many functionality that can leverage to accomplish this
task.
