TypeError: unexpected keyword argument 'ssl'

When running the hello world example here: https://github.com/tve/mqboard/blob/master/mqtt_async/hello-world.py and after converting the dictionary access to use dict['key'] method, I get the following error

Error:

I then edited line 28 of mqtt_async.py and removed the ssl=ssl parameter. This got me a little further but ended with another error:
