Look at the sockets module documentation.
If you know how to use sockets in C or Perl 
then it should be obvious.

Also there is a HowTo document for a basic tutorial.

http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/sockets/

Then check out the higher level networking modiles:
email, smtp, pop, http, urllib, mime, etc...

> i looked for some information but all of them were just vague.

Also try the library FAQ:

http://www.python.org/doc/faq/library.html

It has a few networking topics.

Finally, the Active State cookbook can be searched by keyword:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/

Hopefully there are enough specifics there to get you started.

Networking is a relatively advanced topic for the tutor list, 
you might find you get better responses on the comp.lang.python 
usenet group. But you can try here first if you like! :-)
