python + webcam

[finer recliner]

i'd like to write a software interface to use with my webcam. I'd like to use python (or something) to be able to stream the video feed over the internet and be able to view it and control it remotely. can anyone point me in the right direction to get started?

i have a logitech quickcam sphere (PTZ)
