Alright, I've been staring at this too long. I understand Debian is lagging behind a lot, but the source release is really old, and Ubuntu stable (16.04) is on 3.5.1. I really want the work with datatypes to kick off sooner than later, and I'm doing a big cleanup branch, along with some other cleanup changes that require 3.5. And 3.6 is almost out.
I'm moving requirement to >=3.5. Installing Python from source is normally a trivial effort, you should have no problem. I also baked 2.0b13 in case you prefer to wait for a while -- you can stick with the latest release in the meantime. Will send an update shortly.
