You should ask this on answers.ros.org, once you get it there have a look at this: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/gevent/2uaMnDgVsEo It seems to indicate that this error can occur when Python is not built with ipv6 support. But it is not clear to me that this is the root of the issue, the traceback is failing because logger is None, but logger should be a global reference to a Python logging object.
