Ammar Askar added the comment: For what its worth, "async" and "await" are special keywords. They only act as keywords under certain situations by the tokenizer. You can read more about this here: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#transition-plan
As far as I am aware, this special casing exists even in the latest version: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Parser/tokenizer.c#L1553-L1588 ---------- nosy: +ammar2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31362> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
