Well, of the sets of protocols supported by the Python standard library, the TCP/IP protocol is by far the most widely employable. It contains the principle protocols used by the Internet. By learning to program for TCP/IP, you'll be learning how to potentially communicate with just about every device that is connected to this great tangle of network cables and electromagnetic waves.
