Will it affect in future if I proceed with installation? Any reason for this? Any solution to correct this?

Thank you

To me this looks like there is a problem with internet connectivity from your host. try

wget http://www.google.com 

and see if you get any results.

ANSWER:

Looks like I found the issue: It's a bug in test.py from 2015 psf.upfronthosting.co.za/issue25674 I would recommend you get or reinstall Python from a new location, this bug was patched
