Python 3.5 new keywords, async and await, not syntax highlighted

[di]

From https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3770:

See for instance https://pypi.org/project/influxdbpusher/

It has code snippets with async def and await, which are not being properly highlighted as keywords.

looks like it might just be that we need to use the "python3" lexer by default: http://pygments.org/demo/6734166/

I am still not seeing python 3 properly highlighted (eg.). Is this not deployed to pypi.org yet, or did the bug fix not work?

For rst you'll need to use ..code-block:: python3.

But... it works in github as it is, see: https://github.com/GambitResearch/influxdbpusher

github uses a different syntax highlighter than we do, which leads to some inconsistencies like this. We try to match their behavior exactly when it comes to Markdown, but so far we've only been close with RST. Do you feel strongly we should make the RST highlighter default to python3?

For me, Python 3 is Python, Python 2 is "legacy Python". We definitely should default to Python 3.

[theacodes]

I certainly agree with that sentiment.

@di what do you think?

Looks like I'm not the only package author with this problem, see https://pypi.org/project/aiokafka/0.4.3/
