Pyatv: atvremote and pyatv asyncio.async error

Created on 16 Aug 2018 · 8Comments · Source: postlund/pyatv

Operating System: OS X 10.13.6
Python Version: 3.7
PyATV Version: 0.3.10
Native and Virtual environments: yes

I've been wrestling with this all day thinking I was doing something wrong (which I absolutely may be), but I'm at wits end. Home Assistant's dependency install of pyatv, virtual environment pip install, and native environment pip install yields the same error. I even tried it on another Mac that I had laying around it it gave me the exact same error.

When simply running atvremote (.bash_profile PATH set correctly), or using python3[.7] /path/to/atvremote the following is the only output:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/atvremote", line 7, in <module> from pyatv.__main__ import main File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyatv/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from pyatv.internal.apple_tv import AppleTVInternal File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyatv/internal/apple_tv.py", line 363 run_async = asyncio.async # pylint: disable=no-member ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Obviously the paths differ based on venv or native, but other than that it's the same.

When trying to use the appletv component of Home Assistant the following shows up in the log:

Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/homeassistant/components/apple_tv.py", line 115, in scan_for_apple_tvs import pyatv File "/Users/user/.homeassistant/deps/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from pyatv.internal.apple_tv import AppleTVInternal File "/Users/user/.homeassistant/deps/lib/python/site-packages/pyatv/internal/apple_tv.py", line 363 run_async = asyncio.async # pylint: disable=no-member ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Clearly the same error. I've tried a lot of things to try and fix the problem, including reinstalling all dependencies manually at their required versions but the error persists.

Any help would be appreciated, even if it's to tell me I'm doing something painfully obvious incorrectly.

Thank you

Right, this happens because async and await are reserved keywords in python 3.7 (they were not in earlier versions). So the only work-around is to downgrade and use an older version of python. It should be possible to work-around this with getattr, I'll see if I can get a release out later tonight. Official python 3.7 support will not come until next major release, likely 0.4, so I just haven't tested this with 3.7.
