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. https://github.com/python/core-workflow/pull/143

The diff amounts to regressing all f-strings back to %-strings. If the patch is applied, an issue should be opened to revert it sometime in the future, such as when 3.7 is released. But I really think we should be able to use currently released python to write tools to develop future releases.

My alternative proposal: modify the tooling so that one can install blurb, cherry_picker, and anything else into local cloned repositories without blocking proper use of git. As near as I can tell, we just need to .gitignore Scripts/ and Lib/site-packages/, which are empty in the master repository. Am I missing something?

There it is, staged and ready to commit, with the message I entered ('test'). (So, by the way, the revised blurb installer works.)

The same change should allow people to clone cpython and install and easily test other packages, such as numpy, with tip.
