[...] Can anyone recommend any good resources (dead tree considered) to get me started? As a python novice (but, I like to think, a competent programmer) I don't know the right places to look for reliable python resources that don't assume years of python experience.
http://docs.python.org/ and probably something in Interprocess Communication and Networking chapter of the library reference or the Cheeseshop http://pypi.python.org/ will reveal good libraries for Python, or at least what to search the web for to find discussion of how to write it.
I'd accuse it of being a bit dry, like the language manuals we used to use at UEA, rather than assuming years of experience.
Hope that helps,
