I'm reading qubes-core-admin python source code and it opens a socket connection to qubesd. What is it? Where can I find its source?

It is service that provides core Qubes functionality.
Source is in core-admin/qubes/tools/qubesd.py

You could have found this yourself in dom0 -`ps aux |grep qubesd` points
you at /usr/bin/qubesd
Inspection of that file indicates existence of qubesd.py
`find -name qubesd*` gets the file name:
/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/qubes/tools/qubesd.py

`dnf provides` tells you which package provides the file:
qubes-core-dom0

Or if you have the full source downloaded you could just grep for the
name using `grep -r`
