This looks very much like you're running under Python 2. Take care of
which interpreter you're running; that might be because of your
shebang (as Luuk mentioned), or because of what you're typing to
invoke the script; either way, it makes a huge difference. The easiest
solution is probably to invoke the interpreter explicitly:

Interactive mode:
$ python3
Script mode:
$ python3 scriptname.py

But you seem to have something WAY more complex than a single script.
What's the setup? How is Python getting invoked? If your code is
getting imported by something else, no shebang will help you - you
need the other code to be being executed by the other interpreter.
