We generally support running derivepassphrase on systems where the SSH agent client is unusable because the system (or at least Python on that system) does not support UNIX domain sockets; see e.g. https://github.com/the-13th-letter/derivepassphrase/issues/13. Currently, these fail with an AttributeError while resolving the socket.AF_UNIX symbol, instead of a more descriptive exception.
Therefore, correctly diagnose if the Python installation is lacking the socket.AF_UNIX symbol, and fail in an orderly manner.
