Just a guess as I don’t know Python (Nor an 8266 for that matter). I’m thinking that error means “Address In Use”. I would check your router to see what IP Addresses are in use and whether you are trying to use one of them.
 
Other than that I’m at a loss.

Does it print an IP address anyway? Can you check your router dashboard to see if the IP was already being used by another device?
