Consider changing the code in the part where retweets should be filtered out. According to Twitter documentation the object 'retweeted_status' is presented only when the tweet is a 'retweet' - https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/data-dictionary/overview/intro-to-tweet-json .
The "retweeted" object that you use in your scraper.py script does not exclude retweets (as long as I correctly understood the logic of your script - you want to filter them out in the beginning of the script). The "retweeted" object" indicates whether this Tweet has been Retweeted by the authenticating user" - https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/data-dictionary/overview/tweet-object .
To remove retweets you can simply check whether the 'status' argument in on_status() method has the 'retweeted_status' attribute.
I have ran the script and currently the output contains retweets.
