This is designed to prevent problems like #2318 - in #2315 I tried to to add a CI job for Python 3.5.1, but it turns out that tox doesn't support patch versions... and so I thought the best option was to explicitly drop 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 and get ahead of the cleanups.

We're not the only project to be thinking about this: e.g. there's pytest-dev/pytest#6470, python-trio/trio#880, and python/mypy#7420. Ubuntu has shipped Python >= 3.5.2 since their 16.04.05, and PyPI stats show low 3.5 usage (much lower than 2.7), of which we think only a small portion will be affected.

Ping @DRMacIver - the main decision here is whether we want keep any 3.5 at all, per #2218.

@Zac-HD Zac-HD force-pushed the drop-python-351 branch 3 times, most recently from 280f4d7 to b16ecbd Compare January 21, 2020 09:46
We don't have a CI job for patch versions of Python 3.5, and I don't want to add one for the sake of ugly workarounds on an old Python we're dropping soon anyway.

LGTM, and if we decide to drop Python 3.5 entirely in another release that doesn't block merging this PR.
