The script begins with

        #!/usr/bin/env python3

so the only way it should be run by the system Python interpreter - which is not a Python 3 interpreter:

        $ python --version
        Python 2.7.10

would be if it were run by "python {script path}" rather than just trying to run {script path} as an executable image.  
(Or if somebody make a "python3" link to "/usr/bin/python", but that would be a very silly thing to do.)

Now, if you *did* install a Python 3 interpreter, but the directory in which it's installed isn't in $PATH - or if it's 
not installed as python3 - then the attempt to run the script won't work.
