any ideas on how to block a network port from being used, or one that is currently in use? For example, say I want to block port 23 from being used. by used, I mean allowing connections to or from it.
thanks in advance.

Yes it does, where it will be activated/deactivated with a button in the GUI(PyQt). @AlexanderRD – dwayne sauls Mar 13 '17 at 00:19

The solution need to be done via the command line however you can use python's os library to run scripts. this link is too a similar problem (just with a different port) so you can adapt that command then run it by the following script
import os
# specify the command prompt command you need to be run
command = 'netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="BlockAIM" protocol=TCP dir=out remoteport=23 action=block'
# assign variable to the command
output = os.popen2(command)
# To get output call output.read()
the following script blocks outgoing requests so you will need to repeat the process with dir=in
