Starting on the web first (it's free :-) the socket howto is probably your
best bet:
http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/sockets/
You can also look at asynchronous sockets at:

When it comes to books, most of them seem to have decent chapters on it. I
like "(the eff-bot guide to) The Standard Python Library", but my copy is
severely dated :-) I think he finally published it as a "real" book, but I
haven't seen a recent copy...
"Python Programming on Win32" has a short section on sockets that might be
enough, and if you're going to work on win32 systems I'd definitely
recommend it.
The Python Cookbook has a couple of receipes on sockets (and everything
else ;-) You can get the receipes on the web at
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/
Finally, I'd be very surprised if "Python in a Nutshell" by Alex Martelli
didn't have the best coverage of them all, however that book is still on my
list so I'll have to let someone else comment on it...
