Hi,
it might be just a typo and not helpful anyway. But as far as I
know with "api_url = "http://{host}/api/action..." you're calling
API version #1. You'll need to specify version 3 explicitly
(host/api/3/...).
But anyway, package deletion works fine here even with API #1.
You might have a look at ckanclient
(https://github.com/okfn/ckanclient). It uses API #1.
regards
hendrik
