Hi Greg,

I don't want this: "await a() * b()" to be parsed, it's not meaningful.

Likely you'll see "await await a()" only once in your life, so I'm fine to use parens for it (moreover, I think it reads better with parens)

I've done some experiments with grammar, and it looks like we indeed can parse await quite differently from yield. Three different options: You don't seem to have tried what I suggested, which is to make 'await' a unary operator with the same precedence as '-', i.e. replace factor: ('+'|'-'|'~') factor | power with factor: ('+'|'-'|'~'|'await') factor | power That would allow await a() res = await a() + await b() res = await await a() if await a(): pass return await a() print(await a()) func(arg=await a()) await a() * b()
