Problem for Deleting All Service Times python script

[VincheZ]

Hi everyone !

I'm currently developing a script in python to delete all service times.
Here is my script :

from pyzabbix import ZabbixAPI, ZabbixAPIException
import datetime
import argparse
import re
import ConfigParser
import os

# mandatroy settings, can be set either in variable below, in a config file
# (~/.zabbirc, directory_script/.zabbixrc) or in command line.
# default < config < cli

settings = {
        'url': 'None',
        'username': None,
        'password': None
}

def parse_cli():
        """
        Parse CLI arguments and return whatever has been given in parameter in a
        dict.
        """
        parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
                description='Delete all the downtimes for all services in Zabbix'
        )

        parser.add_argument(
                '-u', '--username',
                action='store',
                required=False,
                help='Username to use when connecting'
        )

        parser.add_argument(
                '-p', '--password',
                required=False,
                action='store',
                help='Password to use when connecting'
        )

        parser.add_argument(
                '--url',
                action='store',
                help='URL to Zabbix server',
                required=False
        )

        args = vars(parser.parse_args())
        # parse_args creates key with None value, we don't want them as
        # those values could be set via config file
        for setting, value in args.items():
                if value is None:
                        del args[setting]
        return args

def validate_settings():
        """
        Validate if all the settings have been provided and valid.
        """
        for setting, value in settings.items():
                if value is None:
                        print setting + " is not defined."
                        return False
        return True

def get_services_id(zapi):
        """
        Return a list of IDs based on service names.
        """
        services = []

        try:
                services = zapi.service.get(
                        output = ['serviceid'],
                        filter = {'showsla': 1}
                )
        except ZabbixAPIException as e:
                pass

        return services

        zapi = ZabbixAPI(settings['url'])
        zapi.login(settings['username'], settings['password'])
        services_del = get_services_id(zapi)

        if len(services_del) > 0:
                try:

                        return False
        else:
                print ("No services found in Zabbix.")
                return False

        return True

if __name__ == "__main__":
        if main():
                print ("All service times have been deleted sucessfully.")

But when I'm running it with Admin user, I've got this error:

Any guess why ? And how this can work ?

I'm using Zabbix 4.2.0 and Python 2.7.5.

Thank you all.

I have de same problem. I can't understand how to pass de parameters to service.deletetimes and the documentation example is not good enough to explain how to do this.
