python - Python3.6 AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'run'

Question

I tried to read https://hackernoon.com/asynchronous-python-45df84b82434. It's about asynchronous python and I tried the code from this, but I'm getting a weird Error. The code is: `

import asyncio
import aiohttp

urls = ['http://www.google.com', 'http://www.yandex.ru', 'http://www.python.org']

async def call_url(url):
    print('Starting {}'.format(url))
    response = await aiohttp.ClientSession().get(url)
    data = await response.text()
    print('{}: {} bytes: {}'.format(url, len(data), data))
    return data

futures = [call_url(url) for url in urls]

asyncio.run(asyncio.wait(futures))

When I try to run it says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 15, in <module>
    asyncio.run(asyncio.wait(futures))
AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'run'
sys:1: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'call_url' was never awaited

I dont have any files named ayncio and I have proof:

>>> asyncio
<module 'asyncio' from '/usr/lib/python3.6/asyncio/__init__.py'>

asyncio.run is a Python 3.7 addition. In 3.5-3.6, your example is roughly equivalent to:

import asyncio

futures = [...]
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(futures))
