The Maya python docs have been my main resource in building tools
(mostly V-Ray centric lighting, image processing or farm sim kinds of
things). Helpfully linked off of your Maya's help menu.
Scraping group archives and forums for example code or to get over a
hump works a treat. A quick search turns up these pertaining to your
particular query:

http://www.vrsets.com/cg-talk/basic-script-to-create-layer-overrides-and-disable-them/
Sometimes a hunt will turn up a MEL solution, most of which are very
easy to translate or, in a pinch, wrap in python. There are situations
where it's pragmatic to do this. Or even mix a bit of pymel into your
cmds-based scripting. Or a bit of OpenMaya.
Pipeline here just suggested a book on PySide as we will eventually
move off of 2012 (or so I hope):
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781849699594.do (I happened to buy
here because of the various digital editions available).
Now that I've been dragged into Houdini lighting, a conversation about
render layer queries would be a welcome relief :-).
Cheers,
Christopher
