For some practical examples:
There is an implementation of "naivechain" (a very, very simple blockchain, originally written in JavaScript) in Python: https://github.com/alexyer/naivechain.py
Also, "Bitcoins the hard way", may be useful for you. It consists of very small python scripts that do basic Bitcoin tasks like the sending of a transaction.

There is not much documentation or tutorials specific for blockchain and Python. I suggest to first get into the basics of the blockchain. You need at least a basic understanding to be able to develop the software in any programming language. I recommend these both source to start with:

I'm fairly new to bitcoin and blockchain, and figured the best way to learn was to build a simple blockchain with a high-level language (python). I'm having trouble with the networking aspects of blockchains. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
