The Electrum-NMC version in Tor Browser is affected by this bug:
https://github.com/kyuupichan/aiorpcX/pull/32 . The gist is that
Electrum-NMC fails to properly initialize random SOCKS authentication when
on Python 3.8+, which causes all outgoing connections to ElectrumX servers
to fail with a Python exception. Thus, no Namecoin resolution is possible
with those Python versions.
The `master-3.3.11` branch of Electrum-NMC contains a backported fix,
which should be usable for Tor Browser. I'll submit a patch for `tor-
browser-build` that bumps the Electrum-NMC dependency shortly.
Thanks to yanmaani for reporting the bug.
