I think you will need to whitelist your scripts (not a “normal” API script). See:
https://frappeframework.com/docs/user/en/api/form#frmcall

What you should have is something like the following:
you should create a file (e.g. date_info.py) on the server that should start with the following:

import frappe
import datetime
import whaterver_other_library

@frappe.whitelist()

def retrive_date():

	return(datetime.timedelta(microseconds=-1).microseconds)

and if you need a client script to call it:

frappe.call({
	method: "path.to.date_info.py.retrive_date", //path should have dot (.)
\\instead of forwardslashes and its root should be:
//  /home/frappe_user/frappe-bench/apps/name_of_default_app (i think)
// for example see below
	freeze: true,
	callback: (r) => {
		frm.set_value('whatever_field_in_your_doctype',r.message);
	}
});

/home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/bitum_laboratory/bitum_laboratory/bitum_laboratory/doctype/comparison_report
example of a path:
/home/frappe_user/frappe-bench/apps/app_name/app_name/app_name/doctype/test_doctype/date_info.py
with retrive_date function defind would become:
method:"app_name.app_name.doctype.test_doctype.date_info.retrive_date"

Those external files will disappear (unless you have manual backups) if you have to reinstall erpnext or server crashes in future.

Better option is to create Apps, and backed up in version control system. App installation is easier and risk free compared to manually creating those files again.
