ssh-import-id was ported to Python3 a while ago and as such depends on Python3. The error you're getting here is because you're using a python2.7 interpreter.

This is because ssh-import-id requires python3 to operate but uses interpreter headings for python2. Also, OSX does not include python3 out of the box so you will need to install it via upstream or homebrew, then modify the files in /usr/bin/local/ssh-import-id-lp and /usr/local/bin/ssh-import-id-gh to have #!/usr/bin/env python3

It be great if either pypi was updated to indicate this is only python3 compatible, the header updated on each file to use the proper interpreter, or ultimately if this project was made to support py2 and py3 as the majority of operating systems shipping today which include python by default, are including python2

Py2 is approaching the end of life. This should be closed (after properly removing any mention of py2 and cleaning up any compatibility left code, perhaps)
