Hey, so I'm having some trouble figuring out why I'm getting a parse error about my indentation on my return value. It doesn't make much sense since I haven't moved it from the auto generated set up. I tested it in both my script transform and the script console and receive the same error. I would really appreciate some advice on this. Below is my script.

```python
def transform(self, value, quality, timestamp):
		
		Zabbix_server = "XXXXXX"
		Zabbix_user = "XXXXX"
		Zabbix_password = "XXXXX"
		Zabbix_token = "XXXXXX"
		
		api = ZabbixAPI(url = Zabbix_server)
		
		if api.version >= 5.4:
			api.login(token = Zabbbix_token)
		else:
			api.login(user = Zabbix_user, password = Zabbix_password)
		
		users = api.user.get(
			output = ['userid', 'name']
		)
		
		for user in users:
			print(user['name'])
			
		api.logout()
		
	return value

```

The rest of your script is clearly indented an extra level, have you tried fixing that?

Yes I have, it still gives me the same error. The software automatically puts my cursor there to start anyway so once I attempted it and it didn't work, I just left it as is.

Well, the mismatched indentation is wrong. All code in a logical block needs to have the same indentation (other than continuation lines).

Either remove the extra tabs on the bulk of the code, or add another tab before the return. 🤷‍♂️

Doesn't matter how it got screwed up, it won't work that way.

This helped get rid of the parse error. Thank you, I am very new to this software. By chance could explain this syntax error to me as well? "SyntaxError: ("mismatched input ':' expecting RPAREN"

I'm assuming the language doesn't support this type of input in this instance but I'm probably wrong.

The python compiler thinks you are missing a right parenthesis at that point (where the colon is).
