Python is not lisp, and await is not a function, so parens should not be needed in the common case. Which common case you mean?

The common case of not wanting to write parenthesis. ;)

Seriously, why are the parens necessary?

await (-coro())

from the many examples above that just work, it's a mystery why

await -coro()

cannot also just work and be the same as the parenthesized version.
