I'm trying to write a discord bot in python but it says all code is wrong?

Question

I'm trying to write a discord bot in python but it says all code is wrong!

I have installed discord.py and I am using Python 3.5.

I do not understand why?

My code:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

token = ("NTU2NDMzMTIE3NDE4NzYz.D25qlg.O9DZ3Z826EYluNydApWZ3RBjj2Q")

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="*")

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Bot is ready")

client.run(token)

Error:

  Traceback (most recent call last):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

it says syntax error in `compat.py`. Double check the python version that is required, or update the discord package maybe? — Flame, Mar 16 '19 at 12:15
Do not post your bot token publicly, even a modified/fake one. Consider regenerating it if it's the actual one. — FrenchMasterSword, Mar 16 '19 at 14:04

This is normal. async (and currently latest) version of discord.py doesn't support 3.7 or newer, as async becomes a reserved keyword. Consider switching to rewrite version (which supports 3.7) or downgrading Python version to 3.6 or lower.
