Well, being unemployed until recently, I always favoured the electronical
to the dead tree for purely economic reasons. So, after wading through
the tutorial, the best resource is your library reference. I'm never sure
what people mean by "internet programmming". Socket programming is
something which is very similar in Python and C, and so any relevant book
will do, plus some documentation reading. CGI programming is well covered
on the Python site, under topics/cgi -- I learned enough there to build my
first CGI-based site in one day. HTTP client programming is usually 
done through httplib/urllib: POST fill-ups were never easier. 

In short, Python's web-site, and documentation area are quite enough,
even for newbies.
