Calin here:

I just tried EC with Python 3.5. It pretty much fails everywhere. We can safely say EC does not support Python 3.5.

Oh, right, line 55. I think its best to drop Python 3.5. We might want to add some automated checking with pylint to check for language features that are too new. I’ll look into what it would take to get that.

Commit d9ab02e7087deb12c15a2a8eb1720475abb6a06e disallows Python3.5 now. We want to look forward, and not back!
