I think it's better to rename all occurences of async now, although it's strange that :

there is currently no deprecation warning in CPython with code that uses it as a variable name, PEP492 said that "async and await names will be softly deprecated in CPython 3.5 and 3.6" there is no mention of async and await becoming keywords in What's new in Python 3.7

Maybe the idea was finally given up, but I can't find a reference.

async & await already became concrete keywords in Python 3.7:

$ ./python Python 3.7.0a2+ (heads/master-dirty:cbe1756e3e, Nov 4 2017, 00:24:07)

...

...

async=1 File "<stdin>", line 1 async=1 ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Please request an entry in the "What's New in Pyhon 3.7" at https://bugs.python.org/issue30406
