this usually means that your computer (or your nameserver) have problems
looking up the host name.  it's not a python problem.

have you checked your firewall settings (and/or firewall logs) ?

can you reach www.xmethods.net and services.xmethods.net from your
browser?

what happens if you do

>>> import socket
>>> socket.getaddrinfo("www.xmethods.net", 80)
>>> socket.getaddrinfo("services.xmethods.net", 80)

?
