[New-bugs-announce] [issue39965] await is valid in non async functions if PyCF_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL_AWAIT is set

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

New submission from Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablogsal at gmail.com>:

If PyCF_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL_AWAIT is set this code is valid:

def f():
   await foo

And this should raise a "SyntaxError: 'await' outside async function". The reason is that the PyCF_ALLOW_TOP_LEVEL_AWAIT is global in the compiler and affects everything without checking if the current code being compiled is actually in the TOP level or not.
