Python is a very common language used in many of the security-related fields. A few of the books I would recommend are listed as follows:

Violent Python: A cookbook for hackers, forensic analysts, penetration testers, and security engineers by T.J. O'Connor (ISBN-10: 1597499579)
Black Hat Python: Python programming for hackers and pentesters by Justin Seitz (ISBN-10: 1593275900)

I have personally used Python extensively in our research work on Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) at A10 Networks. If you are interested in learning more, the guide can be downloaded for free at https://www.a10networks.com/resources/ebooks/distributed-denial-service-ddos.
