Code for just about the simplest of servers is below, should just print 
out all requests coming in from your python client if it's sending it 
correctly:

require 'socket'
serv = UDPSocket.open
serv.bind(nil, 5555) #first param is hostname, nil works fine.
loop{puts serv.recv(5555)}

If it doesn't work then you should probably test to make sure your 
python client is actually sending things correctly.
