After a bit of digging it seems that socket.bind() can be used on the client side as well as on the server side. Thus if you really do want to limit your connections you can tell the socket which interface to use. You need to know the IP address of the interface of course. Caveat: I've never done this, nor even seen it done. But the book Python Network Programming by Goerzen specifically says its possible, although even it doesn't give an example...
