Yeah, I think you're working with something fairly esoteric there - bypassing the lower tiers of support (routing etc). Chances are you won't find any good Python examples, and C's all you'll have. Are you reasonably familiar with C? Point to note: Raw sockets *may* require special privileges. Some systems require that only root employ them, for security's sake.
