Can't trap paramiko runtime trace-back error

When running the code below , I get error as enumerated below. Why am I not able to trap this paramiko runtime traceback in try-except block ?
Exception (client): Error reading SSH protocol banner
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/uzi/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/paramiko/transport.py", line 2327, in _check_banner
     buf = self.packetizer.readline(timeout)
   File "/home/uzi/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/paramiko/packet.py", line 381, in readline
     buf += self._read_timeout(timeout)
   File "/home/uzi/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/paramiko/packet.py", line 626, in _read_timeout
     raise socket.timeout()
socket.timeout
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
