Description

Inside TSocket open(), _resolveAddr() calls getaddrinfo() which can throw socket.gaierror:

try:
  res0 = self._resolveAddr()
  ...
except socket.error, e:
  ...
  raise TTransportException(TTransportException.NOT_OPEN, message)

This needs to be caught by the exception handler and translated into an appropriate TTransportException with as much detail as possible about the original socket.gaierror.
