This looks like a shadowed import problem. Try running this:

import socket
print(socket.__file__)

If all's well, you should get a file path that points to your Python
installation (for me, "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/socket.py"). If it
tells you something about your current directory, check for a file
called socket.py or socket.pyc and rename or delete it - you've
shadowed the standard library module.
