From looking at the HTML source of the page:

  http://superhost.gr/

I see near the start:

  b'<!DOCTYPE html

I'd say you have a bytes object that you've fed to print().
In python2, str is effectively bytes.
In python3, str is a sequence of Unicode code points, and bytes are
arrays of small integers.
If you feed a bytes object to print it will print a strig represenation
of it, starting with "b'...".

The question is: where did the bytes object come from? A cursory
glance through your pastebin code doesn't show me anthing very
obvious.

I'd start by asking: where does the string "<!DOCTYPE" come from?
Wherever that is, it seems to be bytes rather than str.
Start with that.

You don't have to live on the edge, but you have to know where it is.
