[Python-Dev] Await and Async keywords (original) (raw)

Hi,

I'm currently looking into how Python3 is parsed, and I'm wondering why await and async aren't considered as keywords? Are there programs actually using await and async as variable names? Is there another behaviour where it is interesting to use async for something different?

Cheers, Aymeric
