c7n-salactus gives syntax error

[haiauth]

Describe the bug

I have installed the redis-server, get it running, installed supervisor and run the supervisord.conf file as well. But when I run c7n-salactus --help, I got a syntax error.

What did you expect to happen?

Well, I expect it to give me a help menu.

Thanks for the report @haiauth 👍 . I'm seeing the same issue installing 0.3.0 from PyPI. Looks like that's dying because in current versions of Python, async is a keyword. However, it looks like #2608 fixed this issue in salactus back in 2018. Salactus isn't part of the set of typical c7n release packages, but this suggests we need to get a new release published. Given the time since last release, I wouldn't be surprised if we find other issues in the process.

@ajkerrigan Thank you for your response. Do you have a timeline when the new release/fix will be released?
