The PEP 484 is proposing a type hint which can annotate the type of each parameters. How ever code written in this format can not be run for python3.5 and below.

You're a bit late. Parameter annotations have been a part of the language since at least 3.1. PEP 484 just codifies a way of using them to represent types.

Also, PEP 484 does specify a way of using comments to indicate types.
