FWIW - I was getting the syntax error issue, I hunted down the pyHS100 repo on github. I found there were changes to the code base in both scripts, so I cloned the repo then copied the *py scripts into the python site-packages for pyHS100 used by home-assistant and into pyHS100 in the deps directory under .homeassistant. All worked fine from there.
I have had similar issues with my HS100 TP link plug.
It works with Alexa. My config is also correct.
What files did you copy over from Github?
I copied the same files into the deps directory but I am unsure where to copy other files to.
You mentioned the python site packages for pyHS100 - I couldn’t locate them.
I am running HASS 0.38.4 on MAC OS Sierra
I ran into the same problem after a clean install. You can install the dependency by:
git clone https://github.com/GadgetReactor/pyHS100.git
pip3 install pyHS100==0.2.3 --target ~/.homeassistant/deps

im getting a different problem myself, tried updating pyHS100 from the repo, but not much changed:

Not really getting very far with that error, but i suspect the plug maybe returning different data than was expected by the lib?
Tried as well with various bash scripts that exist for controlling the plug and none of them can read status, but the can all change the state of the plug.
The one thing i could get to read the status of the plug was the hs100-api nodejs module, that can switch the plug and read its current state, not sure if thats of any help (personally python is one language i’m very poor with).
