Drop support for Python 3.5

See original GitHub issue

CPython 3.5 reaches end-of-life on 2020-09-13.

https://www.python.org/downloads/

Humanize will also drop support for Python 3.5 around the same time.

I’m considering this won’t need a major version bump, as the python_requires will be updated so people still on 3.5 will get the last release that did support it.

No, Python 2.7 has been EOL since 2020-01-01.

16% is low when comparing with other projects which have also dropped Python 2, and for people still needing 2.7 it’s still possible to install the last humanize that did support it.

I’d watch out with dropping support for 3.6 as you’re talking Ubuntu Bionic here which is still a very active LTS version of Ubuntu and dropping support for it just isn’t necessary, dropping 3.6 would annoy too many users but I agree dropping 3.5 is acceptable.
