I don't know Python, but I'd guess that your problem might be
/etc/resolv.conf.  Make sure that exists as a symbolic link pointing to
/SYS/NET/RESLVCNF, and make sure that RESLVCNF contains proper DNS
information.  It could be that FTP and the other functional applications aren't
relying on /etc/resolv.conf.  Not everything does.

There's only one default gateway MPE, shared by all applications.
