Expanding on the python part.
The exception indicates the port is already 'taken' (LISTEN).
I don't understand TCP wrappers, but from Bob's comment I'd guess the
wrapper is listening to port:70(?)

Try netstat <options -which I can't remember right now> to check your 
portscape.

To explore the python exception you can temporarily change
    /usr/pkg/lib/python2.3/SocketServer.py
Before the bind() enter:
         sys.stderr.write( str(self.server_address) )
         self.socket.bind(self.server_address)
(use the same indentation -- 8 spaces i believe)
