This is based on #156 and #224, but I can't reopen those.

In #156 this was marked as a priority but Python 2.7 support was listed as a blocker. As the earliest version of Python now supported is 3.5 (which is after asyncio was introduced), it seems this blocker has been removed. Since a lot of Python applications (especially webapps) are moving over to async, it would be nice not to have to make workarounds to implement Google Maps support.
