--------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that some Linux distributions come with Python 3.5.1[1].
Users of these distributions will be affected by this change.
A workaround would be to install a newer version of Python, for example by
employing pyenv, or older version of Beam.
Note that Ubuntu 16.04 has reached EOL, and Python 3 is approaching EOL.

> Drop support for Python 3.5 versions lower than 3.5.3
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-9372
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9372
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: sdk-py-core
> Reporter: Valentyn Tymofieiev
> Priority: Major
>
> Supporting Python 3.5.1, 3.5.2 requires nontrivial amount of work in type
> inference machinery, but may provide little benefit. Most recently, this
> surfaced in [1].
> To require Python 3.5.3 and higher we need to migrate Jenkins infrastructure
> to Python 3.5.3 (see [2]), and update python_requires section in setup.py
> once we are ready to drop support.
