Yapf: Exception occurs under Python 3.8

[stevenleeS0ht]

yapf seems not support python3.8

versions:

python -- 3.8.0
yapf -- 0.29.0

When I reformat the source tree which definitely no error, the following error message occurs:

$ yapf -pri .
concurrent.futures.process._RemoteTraceback: 
"""
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yapf/yapflib/pytree_utils.py", line 115, in ParseCodeToTree

  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/lib2to3/pgen2/driver.py", line 103, in parse_string
    return self.parse_tokens(tokens, debug)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/lib2to3/pgen2/driver.py", line 71, in parse_tokens
    if p.addtoken(type, value, (prefix, start)):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/lib2to3/pgen2/parse.py", line 162, in addtoken
    raise ParseError("bad input", type, value, context)
lib2to3.pgen2.parse.ParseError: bad input: type=22, value='=', context=('', (25, 16))

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise ParseError("bad input", type, value, context)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yapf", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('yapf==0.29.0', 'console_scripts', 'yapf')()

It probably caused by the new operator ":=" introduced in python 3.8

@gwelymernans , Please have a look.

@stevenleeS0ht This is most likely due to lib2to3 not being able to handle := yet. We rely upon it for our parsing, and there's not much we can do until it's been updated.

Bummer, i was keen on using it on my codebase. Doesn't work with python 3.8.2. Seems it's in progress on python's side https://bugs.python.org/issue36541 probably need to check with the new 3.9 beta.
