A python traceback is not in and of itself a security issue.

Based on your program name, I am guessing you are trying to "break" python.  That's fine, but if you want us to take action on a bug report like this you are going to have to do more work in characterizing the problem and identifying an actual bug.  It isn't even obvious from what you've supplied that there is a bug (it looks like it could be a networking error).

Also, in the future please post individual files rather than a zip file, since they are much easier to review.

You don't indicate which version of python you are running, so I'm clearing the versions.

----------
type: security -> behavior
versions:  -Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6
