Looks like your TCP connection attempt to ConfD timed out?

Also, I am wondering if you can tell us what Python version you are using. As it was noted, you are having a problem connecting to ConfD, so of course verify that ConfD is running. But the script is having a problem handling the Exception and this may be due to you using a Python version less than 2.6.
