Classic Error plus some I didn't find in Issues

[Not-Nik]

Well, I downloaded the current version from GitHub and ran this command in the folder:
python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]
I tried to run this code:

import discord
import asyncio

client = discord.Client()

TOKEN = "Don't even think about it!"
PREFIX = ":"

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as')
    print(client.user.name)
    print(client.user.id)
    print('------')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith(PREFIX + 'test'):
        counter = 0
        await client.send_message(message.channel, 'Wow, I am amazing!')
    elif message.content.startswith(PREFIX + 'sleep'):
        await asyncio.sleep(5)
        await client.send_message(message.channel, 'Done sleeping!')

client.run(TOKEN)

and this errors were shown:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

If there is already a issue that solved this, just post it - it would be really helpful!

PS: I got python version 3.7 and YES I tried installing the old version from pip while using python 3.6.0

[sethwheway]

That error is because the async branch is not compatible with 3.7. Double check you're installing and running dpy on 3.6.6. Though you'll be fine here for the moment, questions like these are better suited to the discord.py server in future

I downloaded 3.6.6, ran the code in it and hell there are too many errors to count:

This is a single SSLError and is a duplicate of #423.

Worked, thank you! <3
