Since there is a valid entry for hostname microserver, that blows my theory.
I thought there was only a single entry with a NULL hostname.

Maybe trying a really simple python script will point to the problem. What does
this (saved as test.py, chmod 755 test.py and then ./test.py) print:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from MythTV import MythDB
db = MythDB()
print 'Connected to DB OK using hostname: {}'.format(db.gethostname())
