just to add above error. this error seen when we wrote the python script for schema upgrade
with the below imports in the script
#!/usr/bin/env python
from future import print_function
import socket

import _confd.cdb as cdb
import _confd.dp as dp
import _confd.maapi as maapi

There were backward-incompatible changes in Python API sometime around 3.8-3.9. One option is to downgrade your Python installation (or run your Python code in venv with older Python version), or upgrade your ConfD version - look for ENG-25176 in the CHANGES file. Or if you are a bit adventurous, you can modify ConfD’s Python API by removing all references to PyIOBase_Type and recompile.
