The easiest thing would be to use os.system(). If you wanted to spawn 10
child processes, you could do:
import os
for i in range(10):
os.system ("./child.py &")
and then have child.py be a script that creates 1000 TCP connections.
Keep in mind that one man's stress test is another man's denial of service
attack. If there are any firewalls between you and your target, they may
restrict the number of connections you get to make (or the rate at which
they're created). You may also get a polite phone call from your local IT
people asking enquiring about your activities.
