Yeah, it would work.
I don't know if you could send and receive from both machines on a 
single port,
but yeah, you could do it.
Yeah, you just point it to 127.0.0.1, or you type 'localhost' as the ip 
when you're declaring the socket.
Something like

from socket import *
s = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM)
s.bind(('localhost',1234))

should accomplish this.
