New submission from Miro Hrončok <miro at hroncok.cz>:

According to PEP 492, async and await should be full keywords in Python 3.7. That happened in https://bugs.python.org/issue30406

There is no mention of it at all at https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/3.7.html#porting-to-python-3-7 or anywhare on that page.

I consider this a blocker because it can break things:

    $ python3.6 -c 'async = 42'
    $ echo $?
    0
    $ python3.7 -c 'async = 42'
      File "<string>", line 1
        async = 42
              ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax
