Got SyntaxError around self.async while import KafkaProducer on python 3.7.4

See original GitHub issue

I’m using Python 3.7.4 in PyCharm 2019.1.4 (PY-191.8026.44). I have installed kafka-1.3.5. When I import KafkaProducer, I get an error:

(venv-py) D:\PycharmProjects\FCOP>python

Ohh, sorry, I get the issue. You seem to have kafka package installed, that is a forbidden package and is not updated. Please:

remove both kafka and kafka-python packages using pip uninstall command
Reinstall only kafka-python package.

You need to remove both packages to ensure python loads the kafka module properly. Sorry for the trouble. Relates to https://github.com/dpkp/kafka-python/issues/1253

I am presently running on:

PS C:\Apache\Kafka\kafka_2.13-2.4.0\bin\windows> pip install kafka-python Requirement already satisfied: kafka-python in c:\python3.8.1\lib\site-packages (2.0.1)

yet I face this issue :

PS C:\Apache\Kafka\kafka_2.13-2.4.0\bin\windows> python .\test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File “.\test.py”, line 5, in from kafka import KafkaConsumer File “C:\python3.8.1\lib\site-packages\kafka_init_.py”, line 23, in from kafka.producer import KafkaProducer File “C:\python3.8.1\lib\site-packages\kafka\producer_init_.py”, line 4, in from .simple import SimpleProducer File “C:\python3.8.1\lib\site-packages\kafka\producer\simple.py”, line 54 return ‘’ % self.async ^

Any thoughts on how to fix this?
