Thanks for the report.  The behavior you see can be further isolated to 
socket.gethostbyname:

>>> import socket
>>> h = 
>>> "0123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123.example.com"
>>> socket.gethostbyname(h)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/encodings/idna.py", line 165, in encode
    raise UnicodeError("label empty or too long")
UnicodeError: label empty or too long

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeError: encoding with 'idna' codec failed (UnicodeError: label empty or 
too long)

Other socket module calls accepting host names fail similarly, such as 
getaddrinfo.
