Drop python 3.5?

[Hoeze]

Python 3.5 does not support type annotations and format strings. @Avsecz @MuhammedHasan Should we drop python 3.5 support in the near future or is this still a requirement for some Kipoi models?

I would keep 3.5 for now. Format strings are a nice syntactic sugar, but are not a good enough reason to drop 3.5 support.

I agree with @Avsecz. People still use 3.5 so it will be annoying to drop version.

Yes, but only in parts. Not working:

class BaseVariantMatcher:
    """
    Base variant intervals matcher
    """

    def __init__(
            self,
            vcf_file: str,

            bed_path: str = None,
            pranges: pyranges.PyRanges = None,
            intervals: List[Interval] = None,
