Your system python has a broken, or missing, urllib.

(this error message is likely misleading)
Hopefully, installing urllib will get you through this one.
By the way, can you install python3.12 or later (with the necessary for
development packages)?
Then you can pass it to ./configure in --with-python= option.
Or, even better, switch to using python3.12 or newer as the system Python?
We don't support python3.11 (which you have as /usr/bin/python3) anymore.
Theoretically, Sage would be capable of builing a suitable
Python, but practically this is mostly broken.
