Sounds well suited to Twisted.

Feel free to ask specific questions if you get stuck on something.  The
tutorial and the writing servers and writing clients howtos should answer
most of your questions, though:

    http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/servers.html
    http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/clients.html

You might also find some of the examples to be interesting:
