Python - OSError: [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

I'm at a loss therefore posting here. I'm getting the error in the title when trying to make an http/https web request through python from t-sql from a server (vm) on windows core. I have read here in other threads that could be a number of things like firewall related, non admin accounts cannot bind to lower ports and have not made any progress thus far. The sys admin I've been working with has assured me there is no firewall on the host server which could be causing this error or blocking python specifically. I was able to reach a different rest API via SSIS/C# script task/sql agent job using the same domain account without any issues.

Sample stripped version of code:

execute sp_execute_external_script
@language = N'Python',
@script = N'
import requests

r = requests.get("https://www.google.com")
print(r.status_code)
'

Error:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Have tried the following with no success:

1. Reconfigure the launchpad service with a domain admin account
2. Added the domain acccount to local admin group (even though domain admins already part of the group)
3. Added mssqllaunchpad as a local admin
4. Disabled windows firewall and rules which may block the traffic

Can someone please point me in the direction of generally speaking what causes this error and possibly how to resolve for my specific situation?
