You might be surprised at the number of fixes needed for Python 3.5 support (and to silence all deprecation warnings). They're tracked at https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/23763.
I backported most of them to 1.8 during the 1.8 release cycle, but stopped doing so once 1.8 went final. I don't mind putting together a branch with the rest of the changes to get the build passing on Django 1.8/Python 3.5, but I'm not so sure we'll want to continue this with Python 3.6 and beyond.
