My control command using wget gives a hint

It looks like IPv6 just generally fails.What could be wrong on my end.How would I fix IPV6 issues on my end?Given that my end may be unfixable - how would I need to modify my python code to exclude IPV6?
forcing ipv4 on wget returns instantly: wget -4 --timeout=300000 "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?key=$APP_KEY&forUsername=PewDiePie&part=statistics"
