Controlling Duet from python

Re: Duet 3 use for other motion systems?

A brief update and a question
Update. I can control several motors well enough either singly or in coupled movement via the console.

Question: I need to be able to send Gcode from a PC, preferably python. From hints in the documentation and the CodeConsole, it seems like I should be able to use a simple POST to send a command and get the response. This is easy with the python requests library, a single line of code. I have a Duet3 and a raspberry pi on the network configured at the router with a static address. Here is the stupid simple code (due to my ignorance):

import requests

class Duet(object):
"""simple command post to duet"""

def __init__(self, URL = 'http://192.167.1.42/'):
    """stasch the URL
    check validity?
    """
    self.URL = URL

def DuetCmd(self, command):
    response = requests.post(self.URL, data=command)
    return response

DuetCmd times out. The default port is 80. Likely I have misinterpreted the use of the PORT on the Raspberry pi. So how does one send individual lines of Gcode to the pi, thence the Duet? Is there a simpler way to do this?
Many thanks for any suggestions or pointers to resources.
