Any idea to make it work with python3?

You can use brew install python2.

brew install pyenv
pyenv install 2.7.18
pyenv global 2.7.18
python2 tv-changer-for-mac.py

brew install pyenv
pyenv install 2.7.18
pyenv global 2.7.18
python2 tv-changer-for-mac.py

Thanks
As pyenv installing across user, not the whole system than final command will look

sudo .pyenv/versions/2.7.18/bin/python2 ~/tv-changer-for-mac.py

ps. a bit updated script to work with 15.30.3 and macOS 12.4 here
