I had the same problem.

I solved the problem with hint of user3503929.

The kafka server was installed on windows.

server.properties

...
host.name = 0.0.0.0
...

.

producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers='192.168.1.3:9092',         
                                         value_serializer=str.encode)
producer.send('test', value='aaa')
producer.close()
print("DONE.")

There was no problem with the processing in the windows kafka client. However, when I send a message to topic using kafka-python in ubuntu, a NoBrokersAvailable exception is raised.

Add the following settings to server.properties.

...
advertised.host.name = 192.168.1.3
...

It runs successfully in the same code. I spent three hours because of this.

Thanks
