You're using HTTP to connect to NNTP? Replace server = NNTP('http://www.news.readfreenews.net') with server = NNTP('news.readfreenews.net') or server = NNTP('www.news.readfreenews.net'), depending on which works fine.

    www.news.readfreenews.net is supposed to get you this error, because there's no such host (try pinging it). However, news.readfreenews.net shouldn't cause any error. – Dr McKay Apr 14 '11 at 17:00
