Pierre Quentel <pierre.quentel at gmail.com> added the comment:

According to PEP 492, async and await should have been deprecated in 3.5 and 3.6, but I don't think they have been :

await = 1
def f(async=True):
    ...

don't raise any deprecation warning in 3.6.

Since version 3.7 will break existing code with a SyntaxError, could it be possible to have something explicit in the SyntaxError message for these new keywords, for instance

SyntaxError : 'async' is a keyword

I don't speack C so I can't provide a patch, sorry.
