    Now constructions like

    await lock # "yield from lock" can be used as well
    try:
    ...
    finally:
    lock.release()

    and

    with (yield from lock):
    ...

    are supported. Let's deprecate them in favor of

    async with lock:
    ...

    This can make harder writing portable code that works in 2.7, 3.4 and 3.7.

    What is the benefit of the deprecation? Are there inevitable design or implementation errors in these constructions? Or getting rid of them can significantly simplify the implementation?

    1. asyncio is not supported by 2.7 anyway
    2. with (yield from lock) is based on very non-obvious tricks:
      a) lock.enter is forbidden and raises RuntimeError
      b) actually lock.iter is called for lock acquiring before calling with
      c) the object returned from iter is a context manager with enter/exit methods
    3. asyncio is converted to async/await syntax by https://bugs.python.org/issue32193 (old yield from style is fully supported still).
    4. the deprecation was proposed by Yury Selivanov in bpo-32193: Convert asyncio to async/await usage #4753 (comment)

    This can make harder writing portable code that works in 2.7, 3.4 and 3.7.

    asyncio for Python 3.4 is fairly outdated. Most of the async packages today require 3.5+, as they usually use async/await syntax. I say this sort of backwards compatibility (showing a warning) isn't really a big concern. A bigger concern for us is new code using 'with await lock' pattern, hence the warning.
