In order to answer that we'd need to know a little more about what you
need it for. Why is it so important that it work by "direct connection"?

If you have it running with sockets, that's great. I should think that
sockets are the best choice for any computer powerful enough to run
Python. If you want it to work on computers that aren't connected to a
network, you can run a "twisted pair" network cable between the two
machines. You would still have to configure the machines' IP addresses,
but then with a serial cable you would have to configure a serial port.
