"async" and "await" became kaywords in CPython 3.6. but in the keyword library, they are not in kwlist, and will return False by iskeyword method.

For what its worth, "async" and "await" are special keywords. They only act as keywords under certain situations by the tokenizer. You can read more about this here: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#transition-plan As far as I am aware, this special casing exists even in the latest version: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Parser/tokenizer.c#L1553-L1588
