looking at the code:

        response = requests.post(args.url+"/links",
            data=json.dumps(new_bookmark), headers=headers)

do you have the python-requests library installed ? 

in general, when using such a third party python script you should
first take a look at all the import statements at the top of the code.
then find out which deb package provides which of the imported modules
(apt-cache search and google are usually helpful with that) and install
them ...

another issue i see is that the script needs to send an api key, did
you provide one in your invocation ? 

also ... quoting from the code:

argparser.add_argument("--url", action="store", required=True,
    help="Full URL to a Shaarli instance.  Must include the /api/v1
bit.")

but your url does not seem to include /api/v1 anywhere ...
