This problem's fix is already in this repo, but not on PyPi. Try reinstalling with pip3 install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@async -U.

If you encounter errors about git not being installed (unlikely, you are on linux), try pip3 install https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/archive/async.zip -U.
