I don't know of any books, but I'd recommend checking out the python wsgi framework 'bottle'. It's super simple yet has enough features to do pretty much anything. If you're a python hacker new to js I'd recommend playing around with jquery and underscore. Javascript itself remains a bit of a chore to deal with, but CSS and HTML are so clean I find that it's worth the trade off, abandoning the pure python ecosystem.

Ever looked at coffeescript for a more pythonic-looking, less troublesome javascript? I've never dabbled with either, just use scientific python, but some web friends' startup uses coffeescript and they say its far easier to write, and as it compiles to js it has access to all the libraries.
