(After a bit of googling about bonjour). Yes, I guess so, but I am more interested in what shared apps might be possible on top of something like this.

I have been told that I can set up an OLPC XO emulator on a PC that can connect and share with a real XO so I can explore the shared applications in Sugar. I will try that soon.

In general, what APIs would an application use to access these network capabilities? Is it tcp/ip plus something? Is there anything available for Python?
