For the curious, nothing in 4.3.0 except SCons' own version check 
prevents using Py3.5, but from now on there are likely to be commits 
which use at least two features incompatible with 3.5: f-strings and 
typing annotations (3.5 supported annotations, but except for function 
returns it had to be the "embedded in a separate comment" style that was 
Py2-compatible).  A few annotations have gone in over the last few 
months,  but they've been limited to return types only.  There's no 
wholesale typing conversion project underway, just nibbling at some 
places if they otherwise get touched.
