i just changed your code a bit for python3:
` #!/usr/bin/python

import sys
import getopt
import urllib.request
from optparse import OptionParser

def main():

variables

btcaddr = ""
baseurl = "https://blockchain.info/q/addressbalance/"

build parser

usage = "usage: %prog address"
parser = OptionParser(usage);

parse argument

(options, args) = parser.parse_args()
if len(args) != 1:
parser.error("incorrect number of arguments")
else:
btcaddr = sys.argv[1]

get balance

url = baseurl + btcaddr
response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
html = int(response.read())
btcbal = (html / 100000000)

if non-zero, write to a results file!

if (html != "0"):
print("Found a non-zero balance at: " + url)
print(str(btcbal) + "BTC")
with open("output.log", "a") as outputfile:
outputfile.write(btcaddr + "-balance-:" + str(btcbal) + "\n")

if name == "main":
main()
