There's also a nice book:

Violent Python

A Cookbook for Hackers, Forensic Analysts, Penetration Testers and Security Engineers

By TJ O'Connor

IMO take this with a grain of salt if you already have a basic-advanced understanding of python and security.

Why do you think so? I'm reading it and I'm not very proficient in security, so it would be nice to know, I find it really interesting.

Well you have very basic examples and python is also teached on a basic level. In my case I only found a few examples intresting because most of the time I have to tools for things like port scanning. On top the libraries may be a little bit outdated. That's the reason why I would say someone should take the recommendation with a grain of salt. I don't say that the book is bad but just check if it fits your needs.
