[FIXED] AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'run'

Issue

I am trying to run the below program using asyncio:

import asyncio

async def main():
    print('Hello')
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print('World')

asyncio.run(main())

However, I am getting the following error:

AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'run'

python --version gives: Python 2.7.8

python3 --version gives: Python 3.7.1

I am running the script as python3 script.py

Any ideas on how can I run this program without any error?

Solution

My bet: your script.py file actually has name asyncio.py (or you have such file somewhere in PYTHONPATH). Rename it to something different and everything will work.
