[issue32958] socket module calls with long host names can fail with idna codec error

[Alex Vandiver]

Alex Vandiver <github at chmrr.net> added the comment:

It seems reasonable to fail on hostnames that are too long -- but it feels like the weirdness is that it is categorized as a UnicodeError, and not as, say, a ValueError.

Would a re-categorization as ValueError seem like a reasonable adjustment here?
