Easier to just do it with SQL, but this works:

#!/usr/bin/python2
''' Sample that gets all settings '''

from __future__ import print_function
import json
from MythTV.services_api import send as api

BACKEND = api.Send(host='localhost')

RESPONSE = BACKEND.send(endpoint='Myth/GetSettingList')
print(json.dumps(RESPONSE, indent=4, sort_keys=True, separators=(',', ': ')))

RESPONSE = BACKEND.send(endpoint='Myth/GetHosts')
HOSTS_LIST = RESPONSE['StringList']

for host in HOSTS_LIST:
     RESPONSE = BACKEND.send(endpoint='Myth/GetSettingList', rest='HostName={}'
                             .format(host))
     print(json.dumps(RESPONSE, indent=4, sort_keys=True,
                      separators=(',', ': ')))
