Should i study python sockets before learning c sockets?
or can i learn it with c easily?

no, I would say learn about sockets in c first, and next you can use it in python/perl/whatever.
But obviously it depends on your knowlegde, if you wish to learn only python/c/perl/whatever, do that.

If you are already familiar with c then learning socket programming in c won't be difficult

Python sockets are C sockets, just called from Python using Python syntax.

If you intended to code them in C, which is what it sounds like to me, then learn them in C first. Then you can just skim the Python syntax for them if you want to switch to Python.

Thanks for these links I was looking for this some time ago and couldn't find a decent tutorial.
