Python 3.7 compatibility

[tscs37]

What I wanted: Install and run Wpull via wpull --help

What I expect: Wpull shows a help screen

What happened: A python syntax error occurs in file driver/process.py:56 where asyncio.async() is called, which is no longer allowed in Python 3.7

Operating system: ArchLinux with Python 3.7

Python version: 3.7.1

Wpull version: wpull version does not say but I attempted to install 2.0.1-1

Log/Output:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[JustAnotherArchivist]

wpull currently officially only supports Python 3.4 and 3.5 (as mentioned in the classifiers). I believe it works fine on 3.6 as well, but the tests are currently not run for that version.
If you can't run an older version of Python (check out pyenv!), you can probably get it to work on 3.7 by replacing all occurrences of asyncio.async with asyncio.ensure_future.

[tscs37]

I moved it to a server with an older python version, that worked so far, though it's 3.6 and also not supported. I'll leave the issue open since the original error continues to occur for now.

[JustAnotherArchivist]

I took the liberty to turn this issue into a general Python 3.7 compatibility issue. I don't think any changes besides fixing the SyntaxError due to async are necessary though.

[francisg-gc]

simple change fixed it for me, attached a pull request with the fix

[makew0rld]

Has there been any movement on this?

[nvanderperren]

I also encounter this issue. Will this be fixed? 3.5 is almost end-of-life. https://www.python.org/downloads/

still exist.

changing asyncio.async to asyncio.ensure_future causes:
