OpenCue: Verifying PyCue causes python error

We would like to try out OpenCue, so I’m setting it up for testing purposes. I’m following the wiki, using redhad based vms, instead of docker containers.

I’ve reached the point where I gotta test PyCue and PyOutline with the following command in venv:

CUEBOT_HOSTS="localhost" python
import opencue
import outline
[show.name() for show in opencue.api.getShows()]

This produces:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycue-0.1.74-py2.7.egg/opencue/util.py", line 54, in _decorator
    .format(code=code, details=details))
opencue.exception.CueException: Encountered a server error. StatusCode.UNKNOWN : No details found. Check server logs.

Tested on CentOS 7 and Fedora 29. In both cases the same error occurs.
