Looking for: Chat service that isn't web server based
Looks fine for me. Note - you can download DEB file from https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd/releases for Ubuntu and install it .. no point going over compilation stuff or via docker https://hub.docker.com/r/inspircd/inspircd-docker/

Over the internet messages/connection API or service for python
Once you've spun up a server, you'll need some sort of software to relay messages between the clients. In my opinion it's hard to go wrong with IRC here. Inspircd is pretty painless to install and configure.

how can I set up my own private hexchat network?
The most popular are UnrealIRCd and InspIRCd and it looks like they will both run on Windows. (I assume you are using Windows)

Convos: A Persistent Self-Hosted Web Client for IRC
Having tried both Convos and dispatch recently, I can safely say they're both world's behind thelounge still. Given enough time, I'm sure they can catch up, especially now that thelounge is on life support at best. But as it stands today, they were both unusable, in comparison, for me.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing InspIRCd and Dispatch you can also consider the following projects:
ngircd - Free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server
IRCAnywhere - IRCAnywhere web based multi-user IRC bouncer built for teams
Kiwi IRC - 🥝 Next generation of the Kiwi IRC web client
The Lounge - 💬 Modern, responsive, cross-platform, self-hosted web IRC client
