Depending on how much of a basis you have in CS, you
may want to take a look at
http://www.amazon.com/Combinatorial-Algorithms-Enumeration-Mathematics-Applications/dp/084933988X
which I found to be an excellent book that covers a lot of the
ground you're talking about. Also, check out graphine
(graphine.org)- I  think its a pretty easy-to-use graph package
for python,  although as the primary author I'm pretty biased.
