Here's a manual run:

 >>> import socket
 >>> socket.getservbyport(13)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
socket.error: port/proto not found

Looking at an strace, the socket C call is trying to access nscd.

Switching off nscd results in this:

 >>> import socket
 >>> socket.getservbyport(13)
'daytime'

So it's really not related to Python in any way.
