python - [python3]socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

Question

I know that there are many similar answers to the question, use VPN and unblock it from firewall, but tried all and nothing seems to work. So, I added the question as a last resort.

I am new to python, I tried what they say and didn't understand the theory behind the answers that I found. spec: windows 10. python 3.8.

edit : I am getting the error while binding(s.bind()).

here is the code:

import socket

class server():
hostname = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
port = input("Enter port(8080 is default): ")

if port == '':
    port = 8080
else:
    port = int(port)
print(socket.getaddrinfo(hostname, port))

if socket.has_ipv6:
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
else:
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

s.bind((hostname, port))
s.listen()


while True:

    (clientConnected, clientAddress) = s.accept()

    a = input("{0} is Trying to connect on port {1}
 Do want to Accept request:(Yes/y/No/n): ".format(hostname, port))

    if a == 'Yes' or a == 'y':
        print("You are connected to " + hostname)
        clientConnected.send("Succesful".encode())
        break
        # break

    if a == 'No' or a == 'n':
        print("Quitting.......")
        s.close()

    else:
        print("Invalid request .. 
 Try again")
        continue


if __name__ == "__main__" :
sever().run()

output:

s.bind((hostname, port))

Process finished with exit code 1

How should I resolve this?
thanks you.
