figured it out... has little to do with maya at all... it involves opening a socket on the python script and then creating a second python script that can send messages or command to that first python script... then its a matter of feeding commands to the 2nd python script via command line from maya with the system command(ie system("sendScript.py -c 'insert command here'"))... i not sure if this is the easiest way to solve this problem... but to each his own... just thought i would post my solution so it wasnt left open...
