I tried this and I too got an error while importing. From what I gather, python-firebase hasn't been updated to be fully compatible with python 3.7 or perhaps this is a rare issue.

What I found was that the firebase module actually had an error as it used python's protected keyword async as a filename.

Here's what fixed the issue for me:

  1. First run the command python3 -m pip show python-firebase.

  2. From there you should see a path to the pip folder. This could look like Location: /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages

  3. Navigate to that folder and find your "firebase" folder. Once in the folder, rename the async.py file to something else, I renamed it to nasync.py. Next you should open the __init__.py file and change the import declaration from from .async import process_pool to from .nasync import process_pool You also have to repeat this in the firebase.py file.

Hope this helps :)
