Receiving SyntaxError on call to Asyncio.async

When I attempt to run qhangouts (I'm on Archlinux) I get this:

[el@arch64:~/react-assessment]$ qhangups

Running into the same issue, on admittedly a weird platform to be trying to run QHangups on: SailfishOS! Running Python 3.7.2, and my traceback looks identical to the one above.

Python 3.8.2, running into the same issue.
