Thanks Justin. Passing the display did not make a difference, possibly because the docker image is being run in yet another virtual machine that also does not have a window manager installed. The goal is to run this on something like Travis.
The gdb route seems promising. I just can't wrap my head around how to use it with mayapy, or how to pass additional flags to mayapy like a script so it can run on its own. :S Passing just the above causes gdb to sit and wait until I force quit with CTRL-Z. What am I doing wrong?
