one way around this would be for someone to write a Python Wrapper and then we can use Twisted Matrix.
http://www.python.org
http://twistedmatrix.com/

Twisted currently supports the following protocols, all implemented in pure Python, most of them as both servers and clients:

Jabber
SIP
FTP
SSH, SFTP
IMAP
HTTP
NNTP
SOCKSv4 (server only)
SMTP
IRC
telnet
POP3
AOL's instant messaging TOC
OSCAR, used by AIM as well as ICQ (client only)
DNS
MouseMan
finger
Echo, discard, chargen and friends
Twisted Perspective Broker

Why reinvent the Wheel?

(that said,
there will still be a need for peer-to-peer networking code built in to BMAX)
