Consider lowing Python version requirements

See original GitHub issue

Hey, I recently attempted to use pipx on a Debian stretch system, which is still on Python 3.5. As such, Python 3.5 support would be nice to have in pipx. As far as I can tell, the only feature that requires 3.6 that pipx requires is PEP 498 (literal string interpolation).

Would you be willing to use string.format() over PEP 498 strings?

Thank you for your interest, but I am going to close this because, although useful to a small group of people, the additional maintenance burden to the pipx project would not be worth it.

Support for older Python version to install pipx would be very helpful for those of us locked on older Python versions
