I second João and suggest diving into Scapy
(http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/) instead of trying to reinvent
the wheel.

I am not a Python guru, so I've never been able to use Scapy for much,
but it seems like an awesome framework for packet-fu.

Hey, look, it even has an nmap fingerprinting feature built right in.
