Well, I'm no networks expert, but one idea does occur to me.  There is 
probably no easier way to make the network connections themselves than using 
sockets, but there is most likely a much easier way to deal with the data 
sent between clients.  Namely, you could use some of Python's built-in 
encoding and decoding facilities like Pickle or maybe some XML stuff to 
simplify encoding and parsing messages from client to server and vice versa.
