Please update the package to include the recently added support for IPv6 Scoped Literal Addresses added to Python3.9a5 python/cpython@21da76d.
The IPv6 address Wikipedia article has a good description of scoped literal IPv6 addresses — Scoped literal addresses are IPv6 address appended by '%' and a scope or zone id value — typically an interface numeric identifier on Windows and an interface name on Unix-based systems.

(For background, this is normal behaviour for Python's socket.socket.accept(), which is a transliteration of the underlying system call. On Unix-based systems (such as Linux), sockaddr_storage (sockaddr_in6 from ip6(7)) includes sin6_scope_id (ifr_ifindex from netdevice(7)), and is returned as the interface name (represented as %ifr_ifname) when being returned as a string by the Python2.7 sockets library (python/cpython@7a41638 2.7.18rc1/Modules/socketmodule.c#L1366).
