import-im6.q16: not authorized error 'os' @ error/constitue.c/WriteImage/1037 for a Python web scraper

I've written a simple web scraper for a comic website. I'm running it on Ubuntu (Linux ubuntu 4.18.0-16-generic #17~18.04.1-Ubuntu) but when I execute the script (permissions set to chmod ug+x) I keep getting a series of errors with imported system libraries along with a confusing syntax error:

import-im6.q16: not authorized `time' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1037.
import-im6.q16: not authorized `os' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1037.
import-im6.q16: not authorized `sys' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1037.
import-im6.q16: not authorized `re' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1037.
import-im6.q16: not authorized `requests' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1037.
from: can't read /var/mail/bs4
./poorlywrittenscraper.py: line 15: DEFAULT_DIR_NAME: command not found
./poorlywrittenscraper.py: line 16: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./poorlywrittenscraper.py: line 16: `COMICS_DIRECTORY = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), DEFAULT_DIR_NAME)'

Interestingly enough, when I run the same script via python3 it fires up, creates the folder, fetches the images but... does not save them. o.O

Any idea what am I missing here or how to fix this?

Here's the full code of the script:

I am pretty sure you are missing a shebang at the beginning of your file, for example

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#!/usr/bin/env python2
