Failed to establish new connection

[KevinTreanor]

When trying to connect the bot to our Mattermost server the connection seems to be failing. Even though the settinings.py file has been changed to our servers' address the connection looks like it's getting the default value from some where else.
Powershell Output:
`PS D:\mattermostBot\mattermost_bot> python run.py

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @KevinTreanor I forked this project a while back and we got it working with API V4. We renamed it to be able to release pypi packages. : https://github.com/attzonko/mmpy_bot

I don't think the version in this repo here is getting any further support. Give mmpy_bot a try and file an issue if you still have problems, I can try and help, further. From the dump you posted above it looks like an issue with the basic socket connection. Looks like you are running in Windows, perhaps there is the windows firewall in the way? Have you tried disabling that and trying?
