There are 2 versions of socket.py and ssl.py.
I saw this when I was putting the python2 appimages together. These files cannot 'phone home' because that was turned-off for security reasons. I used the versions that could not communicate because I didn't want to open a back door into Gimp.
On my Ubuntu I use the native ssl.py and it uses the try/except.
Note sure why you want to prevent a backdoor... the Gimp scripts are open source, it is not hard to see them doing things) while possibly exposing your user to vulnerabilities that have been fixed?
