Hello

i have a RPI 3 with Raspbian Buster with desktop.  i try to run webiopi with the command line :sudo webiopi -d -c /etc/webiopi/config,  and get this error.

""Traceback (most recent call last):

                               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
.

i instaled last python version (3.7.4) but that dont fix the error. 

What can i do?

It seems to be caused by the fact that async is (now?) a reserved keyword and can't be used as a variable name.  

I was able to get webiopi to start by replacing the variable name async with async_ in the function runLoop in the file /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/WebIOPi-0.7.1-py3.7-linux-armv6l.egg/webiopi/utils/thread.py .  Function runLoop now looks like this:

def runLoop(func=None, async_=False):

    global RUNNING

    RUNNING = True

    signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, stop)

    signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, stop)

    if func != None:

        if async_:

            TASKS.append(Task(func, True))

        else:

            while RUNNING:

                func()

    else:

        while RUNNING:

            time.sleep(1)

I created a new patch that supports Raspbian Buster and Raspberry Pi 4.
