带有 async def 的 Python [无效语法]

I am trying write discord bots using Python, I have come across and threw together this bot.

import discord
import asyncio
import random

client = discord.Client()
inEmail = input("Email:")
inPassword = input("Passwd:")

async def background_loop():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    while not client.is_closed:
        channel = client.get_channel("************")
        messages = ["Hello!", "How are you doing?", "Testing!!"]
        await client.send_message(channel, random.choice(messages))
        await asyncio.sleep(120)

client.loop.create_task(background_loop())
client.run(inEmail, inPassword)

然而，当我尝试运行它时，我收到了一个 SyntaxError:

File "1.py", line 7
  async def background_loop():
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

pip install asyncio

async def func():
    pass

# replace to:

@asyncio.coroutine
def func():
    pass

await coroutine() 

# replace to:

yield from coroutine()

import asyncio

@asyncio.coroutine 
def background_loop():
    yield from client.wait_until_ready()
    while not client.is_closed:
        channel = client.get_channel("************")
        messages = ["Hello!", "How are you doing?", "Testing!!"]
        yield from client.send_message(channel, random.choice(messages))
        yield from asyncio.sleep(120)
