I would like to, instead of obtaining data via an emulated com port, capture the TCP/IP traffic (preferrably via python) directly. I’m assuming this device uses a socket per physical port, I just don’t know if there’s a python library available, and if not, how to go about connecting to which socket, and how the data is transferred.

This is not supported on the AnywhereUSB. The only supported application is using the AnywhereUSB software for Windows, to connect to an AnywhereUSB.
