What does this Python requests error mean? Does this mean it tries to connect to the server and couldn't? What does [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known
mean?

# if couchApiBase is not set earlier, let's look it up
if self.couch_api_base is None:
#couchApiBase is not in node config before Couchbase Server 2.0
self.couch_api_base = self.config["nodes"][0].get("couchApiBase")
FYI, This error is generated from the Couchbase Python client.
It means the DNS lookup of the host name you're trying to access failed. For example, I get the same error if I try to look up an invalid host name:
>>> import requests
>>> requests.get('http://apsoapsodjaopisjdaoij.com')

Check the value of serverInfo["ip"]
and make sure it's set correctly.
