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!

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

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:

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.
