However some syntax is slightly outdated this is mostly harmless except for the chapter on asyncio in which the modules interface has been integrated into the language with new 34asyncawait34 keywords

The author does make a note that at the time of writing the pep that eventually introduced this chance was close to acceptance

Conceptually it is the same but the examples are not so relevant to how asyncio code is written in newer versions of python
