Unfortunately the issue still persists in all current python versions. If no one has time to debug and fix this, would it be an option to remove the 3.6.12-socketmodule.patch that is causing the regression since it only fixes a theoretical problem in unit tests, but causes real-world issues? Maybe the upcoming (?) Python 3.10 or 3.11 bump would be a good candidate to do so?
