Well, you can always create a venv using the system python3.

Nowadays, to be honest, I use conda and Anaconda a lot, so I can
very quickly create a local Python 3.6 environment on my work machine,
even if my OS doesn't provide a Python 3.6.  I'm just not sure everyone
has the same habits as me, though I'm all for more core developers
adopting conda :-)

I used to do that, but in the end it feels too confusing and
cumbersome.  So I don't install self-compiled Pythons anymore.

Of course, since you are doing the work, it's ok for me if you don't
want to make blurb Python 3.5-compatible.  I'm just pointing out that
it would ideally be better if it were :-)

Regards

Antoine.
