Would you like to make it 3.5-compatible? 3.6 is quite young and not all systems have it (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04, which many people use, has 3.5). Well, tbh I think that's a bit silly. First of all, it shouldn't be installed in your system-wide python3 interpreter. Second, I assumed core devs were compiling their own Python interpreters locally in their account--in no small part so they can install any packages they want. And finally, you're asking me to give up f-strings. If someone else wants to send me a PR getting it to work on 3.5, I'd look at it. I'm guessing it's really just f-strings but I can't say for sure what else is a 3.6 dependency.

I believe cherry-picker also requires 3.6, for the same reason.
