Can you try with Python 2?

[wadoadi]

With Python 2.7.9 and no changes to the script i get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "samsung-smart-tv-remote.py", line 3, in
import configparser, pika, json, time, samsungctl
ImportError: No module named configparser

[wadoadi]

Then changing the configparser to ConfigParser as it appears to be using Python 3 naming "The ConfigParser module has been renamed to configparser in Python 3" but still running under Python 2.x i next get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "samsung-smart-tv-remote.py", line 8, in
params = pika.URLParameters(config['CloudAMQP']['url'])
AttributeError: ConfigParser instance has no attribute 'getitem'

[StancuFlorin]

I guess something changed in the configparser library. I will try with a fresh setup and I would let you know.

cool THANK YOU

Almost Working!
So here is what I have done so far and the error now seems to be in the JSon Payload! Current error
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'

Actions thus far:

Install pika and samsungctl for Python 3 with pip3
Install pip3 install pika
Install pip3 install samsungctl

Edit samsung-smart-tv-remote.py adding () to each print line

Run the python script using python3
python3 samsung-smart-tv-remote.py

Error on Pi when message is read:
