InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
I would say forget about making that (initially). You'll need a lot of knowledge on networking layers from data-link layer all the way up to application layer. Try crafting packets first maybe (sorry for the golang example). You'll see in that link there is a C binding that works with the NIC. That is not easy to do in Python, but definitely possible. You will need to getifaddrs() at the very least and have to learn a bit about raw sockets.
