Depending on how much of a basis you have in CS, you may want to take a look at http://www.amazon.com/Combinatorial-Algorithms-Enumeration-Mathematics-Applications/dp/084933988X which I found to be an excellent book that covers a lot of the ground you're talking about. Also, check out graphine (graphine.org)- I think its a pretty easy-to-use graph package for python, although as the primary author I'm pretty biased.
