Agree with the other commenters that this is an overly broad question and a duplicate of https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/15705/using-python-for-security, but the best security-related python book i've read is Grey Hat Python. I'd spend a lot of time reading OSS code, and playing with projects like Volatility, W3AF, and Scapy.
