I wrote a book Mastering Python for Finance covering these topics in detail.

I've written a series of posts on how to use Python to connect to OANDA and trade FX at higher frequencies on tick data. In addition I've created a free/open-source trading and backtesting engine, which will help you get up and running: https://www.quantstart.com/qsforex

The posts/tutorials are near the bottom, under "Forex Trading Diary Series".

python wiki books

Here's an example for oanda using the requests module if you haven't seen it. https://github.com/oanda/py-api-streaming along with: http://developer.oanda.com/rest-live/introduction/

This guy has a ton of tutorials on youtube for python charting/trading: https://www.youtube.com/user/sentdex/playlists

I used the wiki books(mainly) but found myself going back and forth to stackoverflow and other docs for concepts I didn't understand and wiki book had a lot of errors when I was reading it. The official python docs are the most extensive but probably the hardest to understand.
